Version 6 is the current major version of Font Awesome. Any updates to icons and software will be made as part of this version through minor and patch releases. Looking for another version, check out our versions archive to access any and all of the Awesome.
We split up Font Awesome releases into regular updates and bug-fix updates. With a Font Awesome Pro plan that has a perpetual license, you'll always be entitled to bug-fix updates for your last version, even after your subscription has expired.
Font Awesome Free and Font Awesome Pro are available to you in two formats:
Downloads of either format are available for both Font Awesome Free and Font Awesome Pro (if you have a perpetual license). To make them easier to use on the web, we have created frameworks for each. And we have lots of documentation on how to use them on the web and on the desktop.
We're still figuring out how best to make the Pro version of Font Awesome available for open source projects and popular themes/plugins like yours.
Pro is commercial software, so there are some restrictions. Biggest one is that you cannot distribute Pro to folks not specifically covered by the license (e.g. you can't provide the files in your open source public repo).
For themes and open source projects, right now it's best to just use Font Awesome Free. We are working a better solution, so feel free to get in touch if you have thoughts.
Font Awesome Free is available by default in Figma. If you'd like to use Font Awesome Pro in Figma, we recommend our ligature-based font files. Here's how to get started along with how to install them locally. install the Pro font files locally. Also, you'll need to make sure "Local Fonts" are enables in Figma's settings.
If you're a freelancer or agency passing work along directly to clients or printers and they aren't modifying any content at all, then you're probably good to go.
If they edit any content on the website, print design, mobile app, etc. then they would be considered a creator and would need to be covered by a Pro license .
Our Pro/Pro+ icons cannot be directly included in open source projects. The Font Awesome Pro license has the most detailed and up-to-date information on acceptable Font Awesome Pro use.
Sharing Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ assets (both icons and software) directly with anyone who is not covered specifically by your Font Awesome Pro license is in direct violation of the Font Awesome Pro license. Doing so may result in account suspension, loss of access to Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ assets, and/or legal action.
Using Font Awesome Pro services in open source projects is allowed. However any usage of these services will remain tied to your Font Awesome purchased plan subscription.
Any websites, apps, or projects that reference your Pro kits will count towards your monthly pageviews and could lead to overages in use and extra charges.
We recommend including Font Awesome Pro packages in your open source projects as a dependency and requiring users of your project to get their own Font Awesome Pro npm token (available with an active Pro level plan). If folks would prefer not to get their own token, they should swap the Pro package out for the Font Awesome Free package.
You can find some guidelines for using Font Awesome 5 in Axure here: https://forum.axure.com/t/font-awesome-widget-library-for-rp-8-icon-fonts/25599/90 .
The first question to ask is are those others you want to work with creators ? Creators are folks who make or edit content with Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ icons. If they're creators, you'll need to assign them a seat on your Font Awesome of your license seats.
Creators can also embed Pro in projects, then pass along to non-creators in a few limited cases (deploying software with Pro embedded, printing a file with Pro/Pro+ icons, etc.) If those non-Creators ever need to modify or create any new content in those projects, they would need to be assigned one of your license seats.
For themes and open source projects, right now it's best to just use Font Awesome Free. We are working on a better solution, so feel free to get in touch if you have thoughts.
Pro subscribers can slim down Font Awesome to just the icons they need by creating a subset. The best way to create a subset is to add a Kit and set it to Custom Subsetting in the Settings.
We also still have the sunsetted Pro Subsetter desktop app available for creating subsets for late Version 5 and early Version 6 releases. You can download it from the Downloads page.
Icon Upload is available from within a Kit. You can upload your own SVG icons to be transformed into icons.
Kits are the easiest and most performant way to use Font Awesome on the web. And now with Kit Icon Upload, they're also the most extendable. Just upload your icon into a kit of your choosing, and use it right away just like you use Font Awesome icons.
While uploaded icons are web-centric now, we're planning to make kits a cornerstone for a lot more in the future .
Our current recommended way to use the duotone icons in desktop applications is to use the SVG files, as opposed to our icon font. Here's some more helpful information on using the duotone style on the desktop.
When you subscribe to a Font Awesome Pro Plan, you'll receive a perpetual Font Awesome Pro license. That license grants you the ability to use Font Awesome Pro/Pro+'s icons and software in a ton of ways.
There are some things to be mindful of, however. Font Awesome Pro is commercial software - so you cannot distribute Font Awesome Pro to folks not specifically covered by your Font Awesome Pro license.
More specifics about what is allowed are in the full Pro license .
Software versions marked as LTS (Long Term Support) will receive security updates only. These versions are considered effectively end-of-life for feature development and non-critical bug fixes.
While we may consider addressing critical, high-impact bugs, this is not guaranteed. Our focus during the LTS period is to ensure stability and security, with minimal changes.
Additionally, if external software libraries, tools, or frameworks introduce changes that affect how Font Awesome is used—such as deprecation warnings or breaking changes—we cannot guarantee updates to the LTS version to address these issues. For example, if newer versions of a tool produce warnings when using an older Font Awesome release, we may choose not to update the LTS version to resolve those warnings.
For ongoing improvements, feature updates, and broader compatibility, we encourage upgrading to the latest supported version.

Font Awesome 7 is currently in pre-release. We're working hard to get it ready for you as soon as possible. We're aiming for a June 2025 release.
Pre-ordering Version 7 means you are subscribing to a Font Awesome plan and will get access to Font Awesome 7 as soon as it's released. You also get instant access to Version 6 and Version 5. All purchases* include:
Font Awesome 7 is our next major release, featuring entirely new, visually unique, Pro+ icon packs (as part of a Pro+ subscription). It also includes refinements to all of our existing icons, a big batch of new icons, improvements to icon upload, new modifiers in our Icon Wizard, and optimizations to performance and accessibility. Coming in June 2025.
Yes! As long as your subscription is active, you'll always have access to the latest Font Awesome Pro version, including Version 7 and future updates.
If you upgrade to Pro+, you'll also get all Pro+ icon packs, including new ones as they're released.
Since Version 7 is still in development, we can't say for sure just yet, but there will likely be some minor breaking changes. Be sure to check the changelog for updates. And as with any major version, we'll be publishing an upgrade guide.
Yes! Both Versions 5 and 6 are considered to be in long term support (LTS) and will receive any security patches as needed.

Version 6 is the latest and greatest major version of Font Awesome. It includes everything in the Font Awesome 5 you know and love along with plenty of improvements and new additions. While we'll be releasing content and features over time as we always have, we've released the following so far:
Going forward, we're excited to ship some of the following shortly:
We still support a number of older Font Awesome Pro licenses from our Kickstarter and Pre-release of Version 5 days. But those have different terms than the one you will need to use Font Awesome 6. You can continue to use Font Awesome 5 Pro under your existing license. To start using Font Awesome 6 Pro, you'll need to purchase a Font Awesome subscription.
We've created upgrading guides for the web and desktop to help you get Version 6 up and running in as little time and pain as possible.
When upgrading on the web, we've outlined steps for each of the major ways you can integrate Font Awesome into your project. From SCSS/Less to JavaScript components to CSS Pseudo-elements, we've got you covered. And if your project is still using Font Awesome 4, we've got a guide for easy upgrading from v4 to v6!
In developing Version 6, we've been laser-sword-focused on making sure things are backwards compatible. But the answer to this really depends on how you've been using Font Awesome in your existing projects - if you're using our frameworks, components, or Kits, chances are we have you covered.
We've outlined in detail what's changed in Font Awesome 6 for the web as well as when using Font Awesome 6 on the desktop.
If you're looking for help upgrading to Font Awesome 6, check out web and desktop upgrading guides.
Version 6 is out now! It's the default and recommended version of Font Awesome.
Check out the full set of icons and learn more in our version 6 docs. Don't forget to grab a Pro subscription if you need one!
As features and new content become available, we'll be sending updates to Pro subscribers and announcements to the larger community.
Just as Version 5 had more icons and more ways to use them in projects, Version 6 continues that mantra. We want Font Awesome to have the icons and styles to fit into your project.
This means we're making more styles to match your look and feel, meeting you in your project's stack as much as possible, and most importantly we'll try to have the icons you need. When we don't, Font Awesome 6 has a way for you to add those yourself. You can upload your own logo and icons or even commission us to design 1 icon, 6 icons, or 24 icons!
It's important to note that Version 6 is a major release and might have breaking changes (though we are doing our absolute best to avoid them in this version). And we've made upgrading from versions 4 and 5 easier than ever, complete with guides when possible. And our Pro-level plans come with Actual Human Support if you need help getting unstuck.
First of all, thanks much for being one of the original supporters of version 5. You enabled a whole new generation of Font Awesome that's bigger and better.
You have a perpetual license to Version 5. This means you can keep using Font Awesome 5's Pro assets as long as you like on as many web, print, and mobile projects you like. And you'll get updates to Version 5 for life! You've also got access to all of the original Kickstarter rewards. As part of your rewards, you also received over 2 years of access to Pro-level services like our CDN, Kits, and npm packages.
To get all the goodies in Version 6 and keep using your services, you'll need to subscribe to a Font Awesome Pro plan.
If you have purchased a Font Awesome Pro plan, and have an active subscription, you will always get access to the latest version of Font Awesome available. With that in mind, if your subscription is active during Version 6's software lifecycle, you'll get it. Likewise, if your subscription is active when we release new services and features under Version 6, you'll also get those in the future.

These License are no longer available! While we honor the following details, we no longer offer these types of licenses for sale.
Yes, Font Awesome 5 is officially supported until we announce otherwise. However, all new icons, features, and services will be under the umbrella of Version 6. We'll continue to provide fixes for bugs and issues in Version 5.
Existing services like Kits, Pro CDN, and packages, that provide access to Version 5 will also continue to be available.
Not a single thing at all. You've got the same license you had when you backed or pre-ordered. Kickstarter/Pre-order folks are allowed to keep their license exactly as it was promised. If you're a Kickstarter backer, you're also getting the following:
You'll have these to keep forever:
This includes Pro CDN, Kits, and our private NPM repository for Font Awesome Pro.
You're entitled to free updates to all of the icons and tech that came with your Font Awesome 5's Kickstarter rewards. If there are new or updated icons added to our Font Awesome 5 solid, regular, light, or duotone styles - you'll get them.

When you purchase a plan from Font Awesome, you'll be able to use both our Kits and our Pro CDN as part of your year of services, support, and updates. After that year is over, you'll need to renew your plan's subscription to keep using them (and to get all of the fresh icons and updates).
Note that some services, like our Kits, have pageview limits per month. If you exceed those limits, you may incur additional charges.
While we expect to have minimal issues, there is no guarantee of 100% uptime for our Kits as well as Free and Pro CDNs. We may need to perform maintenance to these that on rare occasions or encounter unforeseen issues that would cause service interruptions. You can always check the status of all of our services.
Pageviews are how we track usage of our Kits service, which hosts and serves icons for you. By default, there are no restrictions on which domains can use your Kit. We do, however, give you the option to (and recommend that you) "whitelist" domains in order to restrict which sites can use your Kit.
Through a Kit's settings, you can limit which domains are allowed to use that Kit. Limiting domains lets you control where and how your Font Awesome Kits are being used which helps avoid unexpected usage.
Pageviews are how we track usage of our Kits service, which hosts and serves icons for you. By default, there are no restrictions on which domains can use your Kit. We do, however, give you the option to (and recommend that you) "whitelist" domains to restrict which sites can use your Kit.
If you have Metered Billing enabled and reach your plan's monthly pageview limit, the Kits service will remain active. When Metered Billing is fully released, you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month.
If you've set a specific Pageviews billing limit, you'll be billed for any additional overages until that set limit is reached. At that point, the Kits service will be deactivated for the remainder of the current month.
If you reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit and do not have Metered Billing enabled, the Kits service will be deactivated for the remainder of the month, which may result in icon interruptions for your projects.
Packages allow projects to use Font Awesome in one line of code, without the hassle of managing assets, data, and files. This includes easy updating to newer releases of Font Awesome too. Packages can be installed and managed using popular software like npm, yarn, Python, and Ruby.
We have a number of ways to use our packages and two sets of packages you can download: Free (and open source) packages that you can use in your open source projects, and also a Pro/Pro+ (commercial) packages for Pro subscribers that gives you access to use our Pro/Pro+ icons in your private projects. Be sure to check your license and adhere to the terms of use when including packages in your projects.
Each time one of your projects loads Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ assets as a package via a Package Manager (like npm) or Plugin, the size of the data transferred is recorded as Package Bandwidth - which is counted monthly and reset each month.
For Pro subscribers, Font Awesome maintains and provides access to our Pro packages - including all the storage and data needed to build and serve Pro/Pro+ assets in a project. Fun fact: We serve over 12TB of data per month - that's a lot of icons! And because our Pro/Pro+ icons are commercial software, we can't host them on npmjs.com , but you do have the option to download and host our npm packages yourself.
If you find yourself using a lot of your Package Bandwidth, we recommend checking any Continuous Integration (CI) environments you have set up in your projects and tuning your CI to use Font Awesome assets more efficiently.
If you have Metered Billing enabled and reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit, that service will remain active. When Metered Billing is fully released, you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month.
If you've set a specific Package Bandwidth billing limit, you'll be billed for any additional overages until that set limit is reached. At that point, the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the current month.
If you reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit and do not have Metered Billing enabled, the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the month, which may result in icon interruptions for your projects.
Your Font Awesome service usage for the current month can always be viewed in your Account.
We've designed our Kits feature to be a balanced solution between easy-to-use and performant. To that end we've made some trade-offs.
Our Kit URLs (e.g.
https://kit.fontawesome.com/abcdefg.js
) are specifically configured to have a short life (max age). They'll hang around in your browser's cache for a minute before a new version is fetched
from the server. Most of the time the server responds with an empty "304 Not Modified" response. So it's still pretty effecient even though it needs
to talk with the server. This makes sure that if you change your Kit's settings it will show up reasonably soon in the browser.
The other thing we've done is allowed you to choose the "latest" version of Font Awesome for your Kit. When we add icons and release new versions of Font Awesome your site will automatically get the new version. To make this work the browser will cache files for up to one minute before checking with the server to see if a newer version exists.
One optimization that you can make is to explicitly select a version instead of "latest". If you select, for example, "5.8.2" and then save your Kit we can use a different caching strategy. Because the version doesn't change the browser will cache files for the maximum that most browsers recognize: 365 days. This means that for up to a year your browser never needs to make a request for anything but the original Kit URL (which is super tiny to begin with).
Lastly we want to talk about how Kits load multiple files. You may have noticed that a lot of requests for WOFF2 or SVG files can be seen in the Network tab of the browsers developer tools. In the old days, this would be very inneficient as each request would be a separate network connection. However, Kits use newer HTTP/2 features where multiple files can not only use the same network connection but can be processed in parallel. We've optimized our files in such a way that you should see excellent performance from this and in a lot of cases it's faster than traditional file bundling over HTTP/1.
We also now have the option to load Kits using only CSS. (You'll need to set your Kit to use version 6 and Web Fonts.) Once the files are loaded and cached, they will be very fast and performant in your sites and apps.
If you have deeper questions about caching, get in touch. We're happy to talk shop and solutions.
You can use Kits on any domain in the "Domains" list in that Kit's settings.
According to our Pro license, you may not redistribute Pro/Pro+ assets and source code to non-license holders. While any of your users can view the source of your project using Font Awesome Pro, they are not allowed to use your access to Pro CDN.
In order to deploy a project from Netlify using FontAwesome Pro/Pro+ NPM package, you will need to add an environment variable. The
variable should be named:
FONTAWESOME_NPM_AUTH_TOKEN
and its value should be set to your Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ NPM Package Token. If you help adding environment variables to Netlify please
see Netlify's documentation on declaring variables.
Yes! You can find our official Font Awesome Icons Figma plugin in the Figma Community or by searching for "Font Awesome Icons (Official)" in your Figma app's Plugin menu.
We also have the following ways to use Font Awesome with Figma:
Use this ligature-based icon component. You'll need to install the OTF font files for Font Awesome Pro first, but then you can just edit the component and type in a new icon name to change it.
If you'd prefer to use vector-based icons, here's my suggestion.
We offer official support for Font Awesome plans with an active subscription. If you're working with Font Awesome Free or have an expired subscription, your best bet is to check out our online documentation, check out all of the Font Awesome threads on ( Stack Overflow ), or contact our community on GitHub through a new issue to see if anyone else can help or has been in your shoes before.

If you use a service and reach your purchased Plan's monthly limit, Metered Billing allows you to avoid that service being deactivated as well as icon interruptions in your projects. Instead, when Metered Billing is fully released, you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month.
Metered Billing only takes effect when you exceed your purchased Plan's monthly limits and can be enabled or disabled per service at any time.
If you have Metered Billing enabled, there are no charges or additional billing unless you exceed your purchased Plan's monthly limit.
When Metered Billing is fully released, if you do reach your purchased Plan's monthly limit for Metered Billing-enabled service you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month. You can set a maximum billing limit or disable Metered Billing at any point during the month.
Yes! If you have purchased a plan from Font Awesome and have an active subscription, you can enable or disable Metered Billing for a specific Font Awesome service at any point in time.
While you can enable and disable Metered Billing for a service at any time, you'll be billed for any usage overages that were recorded while Metered Billing was enabled.
Flat Metered Billing overage rates are set based on each particular Font Awesome service as well as the purchased Plan you're currently subscribed to.
Yes! You can set a billing limit for each Metered Billing-enabled service. If you exceed your plan's monthly limit for that service, you'll be charged for any overages up to, but not exceeding, that limit.
Any recorded Metered Billing overages for the current month will be billed to you at the beginning of the next month in a separate invoice. That invoice will contain usage and costs broken down by individual service.
If you reach your plan's monthly limit for a service and do not have Metered Billing enabled, the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the month, which may result in icon interruptions for your projects.
When Metered Billing is fully released, if you have Metered Billing enabled and reach your plan's monthly limit for a service, that service will remain active and you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat ratefor the remainder of the month.
If you've set a specific billing limit for a service, you'll be billed for any additional overages until that set limit is reached. At that point the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the current month.
If you do not pay for Metered Billing overages, the service(s) associated with those overages will be deactivated until those outstanding overages are resolved. This deactivation may result in icon interruptions for your projects.
We require the following In order to enable Metered Billing for all Font Awesome services:

You don't. A version of Font Awesome has been and always will be free. As a matter of fact, the current version of Font Awesome Free now has twice as many icons as Font Awesome 4, which was completely free, ever did.
But if you want to take your Font Awesome up a notch, you can subscribe to a Font Awesome Pro plan. This gives you more icons, services, and even actual human technical support.
You betcha! Font Awesome Free, the free version of Font Awesome, is perfect for open source project use. The thousands of solid and brand icons included in Font Awesome Free can be used and distributed in your projects.
Heads up : Font Awesome Free's license requires that you maintain attribution when using Font Awesome assets.
Font Awesome began as a free resource and it's important to us that there will always be a free version of it that is more-than-usable by anyone who needs icons. But we built a team to make sure we continue to add icons, features, and make Font Awesome, well, awesome. That team is full of great people who help make our icons and products - but they're also folks with bills, kids, and dreams of their own that require a salary.
Paid options like Font Awesome Pro help sustain those people and the company. Also, since we've introduced Font Awesome Pro, we've had the means to more than double the size of Font Awesome Free!
With that all in mind, when planning out a category or release, we consider what icons can be added to Free to form a usable subset. If an icon doesn't make that cut, it's because it covers a deeper or more nuanced subject (e.g. toilet-paper-alt ) or it isn't essential to that focused subset of a category we included in Free (e.g. the range of toilet-paper-alt to toilet-paper-alt ). If you find yourself really needing one of those icons, we hope you'd consider supporting the team and project.
Font Awesome has been and will always continue to be an open source project. The current version of Font Awesome has a free version.
Font Awesome Free includes a core set of professionally designed icons plus all of the ways and frameworks to use them easily.
In addition to that, we've offer a Free plan you can sign up for which gives you access to free services like our Font Awesome CDN and Font Awesome Kits, the easiest and quickest way to use icons on the web.

We support a number of payment methods including credit card, bank debit, and bank redirect, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay, AliPay, WeChat, and more, via Stripe, an industry leader in online payments. We take your security seriously and don't store any payment information on our servers. If you have any questions or concerns about online payments, get in touch!
If you would like to change how you pay for your subscription, you can make that change from the Billing and Subscription section of your Account.
Absolutely! When you purchase a Font Awesome subscription you will receive a receipt via email and you can also access invoices from the Billing section of your Account. If you paid via Stripe, click the link to "Manage your subscription in Stripe" and you will see the invoices listed at the bottom of the page.
When your purchased Plan's subscription renews and you are charged, we'll email you a new receipt and add a new invoice to your account.
If you need to add extra information to your invoice (business address, VAT number, etc) and you paid via Paypal, go to the Billing section of your Account and select the invoice you want to add information to. Once you're viewing the invoice, click the "Add additional information to this receipt" link.
If you need to add extra information to your invoice (business address, etc) and paid via Stripe, go to the Billing section of your Account and click the link to "Manage your subscription in Stripe". You can update your billing and shipping address from there and it will be updated on your invoices. Unfortunately, VAT or Tax ID numbers can only be added at checkout. If you forgot to enter it on checkout and need it added, contact us.
If you would like to cancel your subcription, log into your account and visit the Billing section of your Account. You'll see a link to Manage your subscription in Stripe. From the Stripe portal, you can select Cancel plan.
If you cancel your subscription renewal, you will still have access to use Font Awesome Pro through the rest of your current paid subscription period. And you're welcome to renew again at any time to get all the latest goodies!
If you're using Stripe to pay for your subscription, you can manage many of your subscription options - including your plan, seats, and payment - in Stripe by clicking the "Manage your subscription in Stripe" link in your Account. Once you are in the Stripe portal, you'll see options to cancel, renew, or change your plan, add seats, update or change your payment type, update your billing address, and view or print receipts and invoices.
If you would like to set your subcription to auto-renew so your Font Awesome icons keep flowing, log into your account and visit the Billing section of your Account. You'll see a link to renew in Stripe. From the Stripe portal, you can select Renew plan.
If you have an existing subscription and receive a promo code for a discount on a plan upgrade, you can enter it on the last step when updating your subscription in Stripe.
Here are the steps to update your subscription:
If you canceled your subscription and your end date has passed, then your subscription has ended. You will no longer have access to any new Pro/Pro+ icons and software updates that get released in new versions of Font Awesome and services like Kits, Pro CDN, the private NPM repo, and our actual human technical support are shut off.
However, if you have a Font Awesome Pro perpetual license, you can use the icons for the latest version available while your subscription was active. We'll keep a zip file of all the icons for you - just sign in to your account to download. And you're welcome back anytime - we'll keep the fa-engine running!
Font Awesome Pro is is a digital product, so its tough to return the software and assets for your money back once you've downloaded them. We have a Limited Refund Policy that talks about this and does provide an option if you haven't downloaded Font Awesome Pro yet. We're hoping you try our Free version out first to make sure Font Awesome is right for you. That being said, we know crazy situations come up - if you've purchased a Font Awesome Subscription and have issues, get in touch .
Simplicity. We originally thought we'd go the model of selling lots of tiny things (like category packs, access to Pro Kits, additional FA styles), but we really don't want to do that. We're designers and developers and don't want to spend a ton of time on pricing models, upsells, and the rest. We want to keep it simple. You buy a Pro-level plan, you get everything we're making for it.
We also think it makes sense to keep the license perpetual. You paid for it, so we want you to be able to use it in all of your projects. But for things that cost us money to develop and maintain, like updates to the software, new features (which might or might not have been a part of the Kickstarter rewards), and services like Pro CDN and the private NPM repo, we think it makes sense to charge for those on a continuing basis since our costs for them continue as well.
If in that year of updates and services you've not seen useful updates, new features, and critical services you need, then you can cancel the renewal. You'll still get your updates and services for that year and the perpetual license to keep using it. No problem at all.
If you have a Pro-level plan, you have an unlimited use license. Use it in your web apps, iOS and Android apps, in your presentations, in print, and just about anywhere as long as you're not distributing.
Your plan includes access to services and features. Some of those, like our Pro CDN and Kits, include limits on pageviews per month. You may receive charges and communication if you exceed your plan's alloted pageviews.
We have no reseller discounts/rates nor do we provide quotes at this time. We also do not accept purchase orders at the moment, but do accept payments by credit card, bank debit, bank redirects, and mobile payments via Stripe.
Sorry, at this time, our systems aren't set up sell to resellers, only directly to users. You and your clients would purchase a plan (with the appropriate amount of seats for their needs).
There is zero lead time - upon successful purchase, we set up an account from the email used when checking out (which can be changed later) and provide access to download the digital assets from that account.
We do not accept purchase orders at the moment, but do accept payments through credit/debit cards.
Your clients will receive a lifetime license to Font Awesome Pro as well as a free year's subscription to updates, services, and support.
If you're passing work along directly to clients or printers and they aren't modifying any content at all, then you're probably good to go. If they edit any content on the website, print design, mobile app, etc. then they would be considered a creator and would need to be covered by a Pro license .
We currently do not offer any special pricing for students. We priced Font Awesome to be affordable by all.
Sorry, we do not have any specific discounts for non-profit organizations. We priced Font Awesome to be affordable by all. We're hoping we've included enough icons, frameworks, and services that the cost is well worth it.
You don't. A version of Font Awesome has been and always will be free. As a matter of fact, the current version of Font Awesome Free now has twice as many icons as Font Awesome 4, which was completely free, ever did.
But if you want to take your Font Awesome up a notch, you can purchase a Font Awesome plan. This gives you more icons, services, and even actual human technical support.
A set amount of Seats are included in your plan. Additional seats are always available to purchase as well if you need more. Learn more about seats and how to add seats to your plan.

The following plans have a Font Awesome Pro License: Pro Lite, Pro Lite+, Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, Pro Max+
Font Awesome has two types of licenes depending upon the plan you purchase…
Plans that have a Font Awesome Pro perpetual license: Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, Pro Max+
You can download and use the versions of Font Awesome Pro released during your subscription for as long as you like on as many web, print, and mobile projects you would like.
You will have access to all of the services and features included in your plan.
Plans that have a Font Awesome Pro limited license: Pro Lite, Pro Lite+
You can use the versions of Font Awesome Pro released during your subscription on web based projects.
The latest versions and updates to all our icons and styles so long as your subscription remains active.
For a Font Awesome Limited use license, you have access to Font Awesome Pro while your subscription is active.
For a Font Awesome Pro perpetual license you will always have access to the version of Font Awesome Pro you purchased and can use that in however many projects you'd like. There are no recurring fees or subscriptions involved in using your Pro perpetual license. Your pro-level plan, which came with your Pro perpetual license, also includes a year of updates and upgrades. If we release something new during that period, you'll get it. After that period is complete, you can continue to subscribe to new updates or use the latest version of Font Awesome Pro available to you.
We strongly discourage you from doing the following with any Font Awesome Pro license:
Read the full license for details. Violating the license may result in account suspension, loss of access to Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ assets, and/or legal action. If there's something you want to do with Font Awesome that you're not sure is cool, contact us. We'd rather talk than triage trouble.
All of the limitations of the Pro License are also limitations of the Pro Lite license.
The Pro Lite plan does not allow Icon Download or Perpetual Use. However, it does allow for use of the SVG embedding feature of our official WordPress plugin.
The Pro Lite license allows you to use our official WordPress plugin to add Pro icons to your WordPress page content while your Pro Lite subscription is active. One of the ways the plugin works, in some versions, is by embedding individual SVG icons directly into your page content, rather than loading them from our CDN. You can keep those specific embedded SVG icons in those specific WordPress pages, posts, or in your theme, for your own use, forever, even after your subscription ends.
Limitations:
Examples:
While not an exhaustive list, here are some examples of what's allowed and what's not allowed with WordPress SVG embedding on a Pro Lite plan:In other words, when you use the WordPress plugin to add an embedded SVG icon to one of your pages, we don't expect you to delete that icon from your page after your Pro Lite subscription ends. This allowance for Pro Lite is specific for this use case with our WordPress plugin. It isn't the same as the Perpetual Use License or Icon Download features, which are available in our Pro and Pro Max plans.
It's also different from uses which rely on our Pro CDN services. For icon uses that rely on our Pro CDN services, once your subscription ends, those icons stop loading. By contrast, any icons added using our WordPress plugin's SVG embedding remain embedded in your content, and that's OK.
With a Font Awesome Pro license, we expect and encourage you to do the following:
We don't currently offer Enterprise-level licenses, but we may do so in the future. Get in touch if interested.
Font Awesome Pro is currently not available for licensing with website themes - use Font Awesome Free, instead.
When you purchase a Font Awesome plan, you'll be granted a Font Awesome license. Seats are associated with that license and are used to designate individuals who can directly create content using Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ icons. These individuals can be in your organization (as well as clients).
Those designated individuals are covered when using the icons while creating websites, presentations on the desktop, mobile apps, etc.
However, there's no limit on the number of people who are seeing the content you or folks assigned to your seats have created. Want to print a million fliers? No problem. A bajillion people visit your site each month? No sweat.
Seats are used to designate individuals who are in your organization or are clients that can directly create content using Font Awesome Pro Pro/Pro+ icons. There is, however, no limit on the number of people who can see that created content - inside and outside of your organization or project.
If you're looking for icons or you find yourself using any of the How-to-Use docs, you most likely need a seat.
We don't provide individual Font Awesome accounts for seat users at this time. But the people you provide a seat to can access and use Font Awesome just as you can.
We recommend sharing Font Awesome with your seat users by either:
We won't make separate Font Awesome accounts for each seat user nor will we be collecting their personal data. But we do provide an option to track seat allocations for your records.
If you have a Font Awesome License, you can provide a seat to a creator - someone creating content with Font Awesome Pro/Pro+ icons. This can be someone within your organization or a client you're working with. To keep track of who you're providing a seat to use Font Awesome Pro under your license, head over to the Track Seat Allocations form in your Font Awesome account.
Has someone left the project or your organization? Need to change roles or hit your max seats? You can edit or remove a creator from a seat on your Font Awesome license using the same seat assignment form in your account.
Need more seats than your current plan provides? No problem!
You can add more by navigating to your account billing page and managing your subscription from there.
If you have additional questions about seats, get in touch with us and let us know how we can help.

If you'd like to see specific icons added, there are a few options:
We allow individuals and organizations to commission icons in Font Awesome. Once designed, commissioned icons are added to the current working version of Font Awesome.
Once a sponsor pays to commission an icon, our team will be in touch to get the process started. We'll ask some pointed questions about the icons to be sponsored and take the original request as inspiration while we design.
We'll keep in touch with sponsors and provide steps to check out the direction before we ship that freshly commissioned icon to the world.
Once the icon has been been added to Font Awesome, we'll note the individual or organization as the official sponsor in that icon's details on fontawesome.com.
Absolutely. If you commission a pack of 6 icons or a case of 24 icons, you can request a theme for some or all of the set. We'll be in touch after you purchase the commission and you can give us all the details. If you have questions or want more info, get in touch.
Yep! You can add your project or organization's logo to Font Awesome by commissioning a brand icon. We'll add it to our set of brand icons. It'll be available in Font Awesome Free and Font Awesome Pro.
Heads up: logos and identities must be commissioned as part of our brand icons. Normal icon commissions are more focused on general subject matter, concepts, and objects.
No. You'll need to provide a vector version of your existing logo. We'll take it from there and optimize it for use as an icon in Font Awesome.
We encourage requests and recommendations for new icons through the Font Awesome community on GitHub.
Icon requests are managed through GitHub issues in the Font Awesome project. Want to request a new icon? Please search to see if your icon request already exists. If a request is found, please add a 👍 reaction to that one. If there isn't an existing request, feel free to make one!
Once a request is posted, our community on GitHub is welcome to post reactions (👍, 👀, 🎉, etc.). Folks can also share thoughts and encouragement via comments.
The Font Awesome team tracks the requests that have the most community activity via our Icon Requests Leaderboard and often considers those requests when planning additions to our icon collection.
Unfortunately no. We only accept requests for individual icons. We do offer the option to commission a pack of 6 icons or a case of 24 icons where you can request a theme for some or all of the set.
Not so long ago, Font Awesome was a labor of love that was done during the free time of mostly one person, our co-founder Dave. While Dave was able to bring Font Awesome to include hundreds of icons, he also had commitments like a full-time job and family that meant he couldn't tackle everything.
Since the team has grown and we've released Font Awesome Version 5, we've picked up the pace. Not only have we added two unique styles of icons, but since 2018 alone, we added over 2,500 new icons.
If a request seems old, dusty, and not addressed, it's because it hasn't fit into our roadmap of categories and subjects to include nor has it gathered enough community enthusiasm and votes to warrant it to be added yet. You can help with that by getting more reactions and 👍!
We're constantly releasing new versions of Font Awesome that add new icons. Designing pixel-perfect icons in multiple styles that work out of the box on the web and desktop thanks to our frameworks can take some time.
On top of that, we're still designing features and services that continue to make Font Awesome easier to use in even more places. If we're not making icons, we're thinking about how to help folks use them.
If you think we're neglecting a certain request or ask, let us know (nicely, please) in the threads of that issue on GitHub.
As we mentioned, we choose to work on and add new icons based on several factors. But the biggest reason why we're not just burning down the request list is that we want Font Awesome to always feel consistent, cohesive, and complete. We feel the best way to do that is through planning out categories, and releases of icons - so that each one is deep and thought-out enough to stand alone as set that someone can use in their work. If we just tackled requests as they came, it'd be more difficult to do the same. We do consider existing requests and try to slot them in when they make sense with the categories and releases we're working on.
We haven't developed a sure-fire bullet-proof algorithm yet. But we do have several factors that go into figuring out what to add to Font Awesome. We definitely keep a sharp eye on the Icon Requests Leaderboard for the top icon and category requests. We also take a look at what folks are looking for on this site that we don't have.
There are other factors that come into play such as if we have folks who want to commission an icon or category; timely subject matter (e.g. The Olympics, holidays, seasonal topics); common use cases people need icons for (e.g. text editor menus or highlighting stops/landmarks on maps). Again it's not a science, but we do try to keep the community informed on what we're working on.

Great! We'd love to make Font Awesome even more awesome for everyone using it.

The DPF is the European Union - United States Data Privacy Framework. The purpose of this regulation is to facilitate the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US.
If you are a US citizen, this has effectively no impact on your experience with Font Awesome, save for the fact that we have made some minor modifications to process flows. For example, you must explicitly agree to our privacy policy and terms of service before creating an account.
If you are an EU, UK, or Swiss citizen, to comply with GDPR we previously required you to self-host our icons. As the DPF constitutes an adequacy decision to transfer data to Font Awesome and our agents, you can safely allow us to serve icons to your users via our edge network, etc.
For more information on the EU-U.S.-DPF, see the EU-U.S.-DPF Website.
Under GDPR, we are not allowed to transfer personal data out of the EU without explicit consent and a reason for the transfer with the exception that authorization is not required where there is an adequacy decision. Font Awesome uses the adequacy decision under the EU-U.S.-DPF for these transfers.
Any privacy issues or concerns should be sent to dpo@awesome.me or privacy@fontawesome.com, or by clicking Help on any page at https://fontawesome.com". We are required by law to address these concerns in a timely manner (at maximum, 45 days). We send an automated response to all incoming email to privacy@fontawesome.com as there are common issues that are easily addressed. If your issue requires an additional response, we review all incoming emails and will typically respond within 1-3 business days.
You can download a copy of your personal data by visiting the Settings section of your Font Awesome Account:
Because we make no initial attempt to correlate your account with connection data we use for troubleshooting, that data is not available in the download option above.
Most data can be amended from within your Font Awesome account and settings pages.
In some instances there may be data you cannot amend directly in your account. In those cases, simply contact support via the support link or send an email to hello@fontawesome.com. We should be able to assist you with any amendments, providing the amendment doesn't violate security (e.g., we can't amend the value of a token to correspond with another user's token or set your bandwidth usage to a lower value.)
For FREE accounts:
THIS WILL IMMEDIATELY AND IRREVOCABLY DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. WE CANNOT RECOVER YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THIS ACTION.
For PAID accounts:
Because our deletion process is immediate and irrevocable, and paid accounts nominally have value for the remainder of their term, we require account termination of paid accounts via email to hello@fontawesome.com. We do not have an account retention department nor do we attempt to convince you to keep your account. We simply verify you understand that deleting an account is an immediate and irrevocable action before proceeding.
In general, no. There are no 3rd parties with whom we expressly or directly share the data we collect about our users.
As a small company, we don't build and maintain data centers. Instead, we use cloud-based services. This means all the data we collect ultimately resides on a server that is physically owned by someone else. We leverage agreements with these organizations that guarantees they do not access the data we store for any reason. These agreements are the critical mechanism by which we can offer our services while remaining compliant with the EU-U.S.-DPF and GDPR.
Despite the above, we are generally considered liable for all forward transfers of data.
As a company subject to US laws, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
If you have contacted us but:
In such cases you may be able to invoke binding arbitration.
An independent dispute resolution body is available to address complaints and provide recourse free of charge to you concerning the issues set forth herein. Specifically, we have elected the JAMS Data Privacy Framework for disputes relating to EU-U.S. DPF. If you need to open a dispute resolution matter relating to EU-U.S. DPF, information is available here: DPF Dispute Resolution.
By utilizing our services, you agree that, except as described herein and subject to the limitations of the laws of relevant jurisdictions, all matters relating to EU-U.S. DPF shall be subject to binding arbitration. You may initiate binding arbitration in the event that any dispute resolution procedures described by paragraph 5(ix) herein are unsuccessful. Information regarding initiating binding arbitration is available here: DPF Dispute Resolution.
The US system of law is complex but our services may be subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC, the DOT, or any other relevant U.S. authorized statutory body.
Font Awesome begins its security process with training all employees on the necessity and specifics of security. Because we are a small company, this training is conducted by the Head of Security, who is able to communicate one-on-one with all employees to validate their understanding of pivotal underlying principles.
Font Awesome's security posture and activities are determined via threat modeling. The Head of Security, along with Engineering Management, and individual contributors periodically review and update the threat model as necessary and prioritize actions based on the model.
At the point that the data is gathered, Font Awesome guarantees that all data is appropriately encrypted using industry standard best practices. This guarantees that data cannot practically be collected while in transit.
At the point where the data is stored, we encrypt the volume to prevent it from being read in the event the data is somehow lost or compromised. Additionally, access to the volume is controlled via a multi-factor authentication scheme which is auditable so that we can determine who has accessed the data and when.
We account for each service or 3rd party system that is associated with user data, add it to the threat model, and secure the configuration based on best practices in the industry or as suggested by the provider. Access to these systems is controlled via accounts which are centrally managed and auditable.
We use policies that clearly lay out expectations around the use and access of personal data and lay out consequences of misuse or other violations of the policy. These policies also cover limitation of use to the specific reasons for which the data has been collected and forbids any alteration or other violation of integrity without the consent of the user. Additionally, we personally audit these processes (yearly at most but as often as required).
We keep and maintain a GitHub repository with our full security and attestation docs, including diagrams and policies. Head to Security Documentation and Attestation for more information.

We want to correctly balance the needs of security with user privacy and transparency. The above items are items we collect to provide our service. There are other pieces of data that we generate for the purpose of providing our service. These include tokens, timestamps, user settings and preferences. Alone, none of these pieces of data would likely constitute personal data as they can't be used to identify a natural person. However, with perfect knowledge of the system, in certain aggregate pieces, or if all our data was compromised, this data could be directly associated with a natural person.
Erring on the side of caution as regards providing information to users, we have implemented a system where you can download all the data we have associated with an account here: https://fontawesome.com/account/settings. We believe some of this data doesn't qualify as personal data but it is data you would be able to access in any case via various parts of our system. We have simply wrapped it up into a convenient and transferable JSON format. However, any data that we COULD have but that is not populated is omitted. We do this so that an attacker cannot create a free account and enumerate all the data aspects of our system.
If you have any questions or concerns about the data we have presented, believe there is an issue or that something is incomplete, please contact us at privacy@fontawesome.com. We will be happy to review your concerns and provide any additional clarity we can based on our understanding of GDPR and similar legislation. We do reserve the right to deny access to information if we believe it presents unnecessary risk to our system or security.
