Frequently Asked Questions

CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) means the icon is in the public domain — you can use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, without attribution. It's the most permissive license.
Can I use Flaticon icons in commercial projects for free?
Flaticon's free plan requires attribution (credit link to Flaticon). For commercial use without attribution, you need a Flaticon Pro subscription (~$9.99/month).
What's the safest SVG icon library for a commercial product?
MIT-licensed libraries (Heroicons, Feather Icons, Lucide) are the safest for commercial products — no attribution required, no restrictions on use, and the license is industry-standard.
