SVG Sprites

SVG sprites let you quickly use vector icons in your website. We have prepared all the icon set styles into their own SVG sprites.

Place sprite files with the rest of your static files, like images and styles, in your project. Make sure to add a proper path to the SVG sprite file, and use the fragment identifier specific to the SVG icon or symbol you want to display.

<svg>
  <use xlink:href="path/to/free.svg#cil-airplane-mode"></use>
</svg>
<svg>
  <use xlink:href="path/to/brand.svg#cib-twitter"></use>

  <use xlink:href="path/to/flag.svg#cif-us"></use>

SVG Symbols

When you download your icon set, it comes with a symbols directory that contains SVG icon definitions. These icons can be referenced and used as inline SVGs like so:

<!-- Define the symbols -->
<symbol id="cil-apple" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
<title>apple</title>

</symbol>

<!-- Use the defined symbols -->
<svg>
  <use xlink:href="#cil-apple"></use>
</svg>

It is also possible to link to an external SVG containing the definitions:

<svg class="c-icon">
  <use xlink:href="path/to/free-symbol-defs.svg#cil-apple"></use>
</svg>

Referencing an external SVG has the advantage that your icons get cached, with one HTTP request. But the external SVG and the HTML should be served from the same domain. This approach works fine in modern browsers except for IE 9+. In order to support IE 9+, You should use /js/svgxuse.js or /js/svgxuse.min.js. This polyfill detects if the icons are loaded properly; if they aren’t, it sends one HTTP request to fetch and cache symbol definitions.
