⚡ Icon Libraries

Icon libraries are collections of pre-designed symbols that enhance user interfaces and can be embedded into web pages using CSS, SVG, or font formats, enabling consistent and scalable visual elements across different screen sizes and resolutions.

They typically offer extensive sets of icons in multiple styles and sizes, customization through color and stroke adjustments, and delivery via CDN or packages.
