Carbon Icons

Carbon is IBM's open-source design system icon library, drawn following the Carbon Design Language and distributed under Apache 2.0. The set contains 2,670 SVG icons across multiple sizes — 16, 20, 24, and 32 pixels — each tuned for its own scale rather than scaled from a master. Carbon's aesthetic is more technical than expressive: even, restrained stroke weights, conservative geometry, and an emphasis on legibility at small sizes inside dense enterprise interfaces. The library is the icon foundation of IBM Cloud, Watson, and Carbon-based products across IBM and its partners, and ships React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and Web Components packages. For projects building data-heavy enterprise dashboards, internal tools, or scientific applications where icons need to read clearly inside small button targets, Carbon is well-tuned to the use case.
