## Bootstrap Icons
While you won't find a built-in icon library in Bootstrap, our separate [Bootstrap Icons]({{< param 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="{{< param icons >}}" class="btn btn-bd-primary">Get Bootstrap Icons</a>
<img class="img-fluid mt-3 mx-auto" srcset="/docs/{{< param docs_version >}}/assets/img/bootstrap-icons.png,
/docs/{{< param docs_version >}}/assets/img/bootstrap-icons@2x.png 2x"
src="/docs/{{< param docs_version >}}/assets/img/bootstrap-icons.png"

## 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.
