Where do I add the attribution link?

How to attribute correctly

Written by Elena

When using Icons8 assets for free, add one visible link to icons8.com anywhere your audience can see it. One link in one place is enough — you don't need to attribute every individual icon.

Where to put it depends on your project:

  • Website: footer or imprint page

  • Mobile app: About section and app store description

  • Desktop software: About dialog

  • Chrome extension: Web Store description and Settings page

  • WordPress plugin: Settings page and plugin listing

  • Document or presentation: anywhere in the document

  • Game: Credits section

  • YouTube video: description or credits

  • E-commerce listing: footer or item description (eBay, Amazon, etc.)

  • GitHub project: README or project description

  • Social media: mention @icons8 in a post or profile

  • Academic paper or journal: References section — a text mention like "Icons by Icons8 (icons8.com)" works when a clickable link isn't possible

  • Physical product or print: include the link on the product's website, packaging, or item description

The link can point to icons8.com or to the specific icon you used. Just make sure it's visible to your audience.

If you'd rather skip attribution entirely, any paid plan removes the requirement.
