## Bootstrap Icons

While you won't find a built-in icon library in Bootstrap, our separate [Bootstrap Icons]({{ site.icons }}) projects is a growing set of open source SVGs you can use. While they're designed first and foremost to work with our components and documentation, you can use them in any project.

<a href="{{ site.icons }}" class="btn btn-bd-primary">Get Bootstrap Icons</a>

## Additional icon sets

In addition to Bootstrap Icons, we have a handful of alternative icon libraries for you to choose from. While most icon sets include multiple file formats, we prefer SVG implementations for their improved accessibility and vector support.

### Preferred

We've tested and used these icon sets ourselves.

- [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/)
- [Feather](https://feathericons.com/)
- [Octicons](https://octicons.github.com/)

### More

While we haven't tried these out, they do look promising and provide multiple formats—including SVG.
