Icons8 Developers: A Shipping Ready Icon API and More

Build UI faster with a consistent Icons8 API

Most teams do not fail at design because they lack taste. They fail because asset management turns into chaos. One sprint you paste random SVGs into the repo. The next sprint your product has three different stroke widths and a mystery folder called “icons final final”.

Icons8 Developers solves that with the Icons8 API: a developer friendly REST API that delivers icons on demand, so your UI stays consistent across web apps, mobile apps, and internal dashboards. Use the Icons Search API to discover the right symbol, then fetch it from the Icons endpoint in practical formats like SVG or JSON. That makes it easy to build a real design system instead of a patchwork of “close enough” assets.

More than an icon API: media plus AI utilities

If your product needs more than interface glyphs, you can pull from the same platform:

  • Photos API for stock imagery
  • Illustrations API for onboarding, empty states, and marketing pages
  • Music API for video and in app audio
  • AI utilities like Smart Upscaler API and Background Remover API to clean up and prep visuals in your pipeline

This is useful when you are building CMS templates, marketing automation, or content tools that need fresh visuals without manual downloads and uploads.

API keys, docs, pricing, and uptime visibility

Getting started is straightforward: generate API keys, follow the quick start guides, and move from prototype to production without rewriting your stack. Pricing is split by service, so you pay for what you actually use, and there is a public status page to check core systems like Icons, Photos, Illustrations, Music, Upscaler, Background Remover, and Face Swapper.

Want your product to pull the right visual at the right moment? Start with the Icons8 API icon and let your code do the boring work.
