How to change the color of SuperTinyIcons?

SuperTinyIcons are single-color SVGs, so use CSS to modify the fill property. For inline SVGs, add style="fill: #yourcolor;" or target them with CSS classes to dynamically adjust colors based on themes.

SuperTinyIcons vs FontAwesome: which is better for my website?

SuperTinyIcons prioritize extreme file size reduction (under 1KB per icon) for performance-critical sites, while FontAwesome offers more icons, styles, and features but at a larger bundle size. Choose based on whether speed or variety is your top priority.

Are SuperTinyIcons accessible for screen readers?

No, they lack built-in accessibility. You must manually add ARIA labels or elements within the SVG code to describe the icon's purpose, ensuring compliance with web accessibility standards.

Can I use SuperTinyIcons in a React or Vue project?

Yes, simply copy the SVG code from the repository and embed it as an inline element in your components. For React, use JSX with props to control size and color; in Vue, bind attributes dynamically for similar effects.

Is there a CDN for SuperTinyIcons to avoid hosting?

The project doesn't provide an official CDN, but you can host the SVGs on your own server or use third-party services. Alternatively, clone the GitHub repository to include icons locally for full control.

How do I request a new icon if my brand isn't included?

Submit an issue or pull request on GitHub following the contribution guidelines. Ensure the SVG is optimized to under 1KB and fits the circular design constraint for consistency with existing icons.

Do SuperTinyIcons work with dark mode themes?

Yes, but you need to implement CSS logic yourself. Use CSS variables or media queries to switch the fill color based on user preferences, as the icons have no inherent theme support.

What is Super Tiny Icons?

SuperTinyIcons is a collection of extremely small SVG icons representing popular brands, websites, and technologies. Each icon is under 1KB in size, making them ideal for web projects where performance and fast loading times are critical. The project solves the problem of bulky logo assets by providing minimal, scalable vector versions that maintain brand recognition.

Target Audience

Web developers, designers, and frontend engineers who need lightweight brand logos for websites, applications, or documentation. It's particularly useful for projects where performance optimization is a priority.

Value Proposition

Developers choose SuperTinyIcons because it offers the smallest possible logo files without compromising quality, reducing bandwidth usage and improving page load speeds compared to traditional icon sets or PNG alternatives.

Overview

Under 1KB each! Super Tiny Icons are miniscule SVG versions of your favourite website and app logos

Use Cases

Best For

Adding brand logos to lightweight web applications
Creating documentation sites with technology stack icons
Building performance-optimized websites that load quickly
Including social media icons in footers or headers
Displaying technology logos in developer portfolios
Creating UI components that require many small icons

Not Ideal For

Projects requiring multi-color, gradient, or detailed logo designs
Applications needing interactive or animated icon elements
Print media or ultra-high-resolution displays where minimalist vectors lack detail
Teams that require off-the-shelf, pre-styled icon sets with built-in themes

Pros & Cons

Pros

Ultra-Compact Size

Icons average under 534 bytes each, with examples like Flickr at 235 bytes, drastically reducing bandwidth compared to PNG alternatives shown in the README.

Scalable Vector Format

SVGs have a 512x512 viewbox and scale perfectly for any display, ensuring sharpness on retina screens without extra assets.

Extensive Brand Coverage

With over 475 icons covering major brands from GitHub to TensorFlow, it eliminates the need for multiple icon libraries in most web projects.

Consistent Visual Design

All logos fit within a circle of radius 256, providing uniformity when displayed together, as emphasized in the project philosophy.

Cons

Single-Color Limitations

Icons are minimalist and unstyled, requiring custom CSS for any color changes or effects, which adds development overhead.

No Built-in Accessibility

SVGs lack default ARIA attributes or alt text, forcing developers to manually implement accessibility features for screen readers.

Community-Dependent Updates

New icons or logo refreshes rely on contributor submissions, leading to potential delays for trending brands or recent changes.

Simplified Detail Trade-off

The focus on minimal file size can reduce recognizability for complex logos, as some intricate details are omitted in the optimization process.
