Heroicons is a free collection of 316 high-quality, hand-crafted SVG icons designed specifically for UI development in web projects.

It solves the common problem developers face when sourcing consistent, scalable, and aesthetically pleasing icons that integrate seamlessly with modern frameworks like Tailwind CSS, eliminating the need to create or hunt for icons manually.

This project is built for web developers, UI/UX designers, and teams using Tailwind CSS, React, or Vue who need reliable visual assets.
