About Fontello
Fontello is a free web tool for building a custom icon font. You pick the icons you need, and it creates a font file you can use on any website.
What it does
You can select icons from several built-in icon sets, or drag in your own SVG icons. The tool lets you rename icons and change their codes, then generates a webfont package with CSS. This keeps your site light because it only includes the icons you chose.
Key features
- Select icons from several built-in sets
- Drag in your own SVG icons
- Rename icons and change their codes
- Download a webfont package with CSS
Who it's for
Front-end developers who want a small custom set of icons without loading a large library. It is useful for sites that need a handful of specific symbols.
Pricing and good to know
Fontello is open source under the MIT license, so the tool is free to use. The included icon sets come with their own licenses, such as the SIL Open Font License, so check those before you publish. The tool runs in your web browser.
