general - license Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers and discover everything you need to know about Hugeicons license, from setup to advanced usage.
What is "Seat"?
A "Seat" relates to the licensing structure of the Hugeicons Pro version, which is designed for solo, teams and enterprises.
Specifically, a seat is linked to a license key for individual or team use. Both plans are sold per seat, so you buy as many seats as you have designers and developers who work with Pro icons.
Here's the example:
- Pro plan ($99/yearly): Includes a License Key for 1 Seat. Add more seats at the per-seat rate.
- Pro Plus plan ($1197/one-time): Includes a License Key for 1 Seat. Add more seats at the per-seat rate.
Can I use Hugeicons for commercial projects?
Yes, you can use Hugeicons for commercial projects, regardless of whether you are using the Free or Pro version.
Here is a breakdown of the usage rights for commercial projects:
Free Version:
Which includes 6,000+ stroke-rounded icons, is licensed under the MIT License. You can use, modify and redistribute the free icons in unlimited personal and commercial projects, with no seat or license key required.
Pro Version:
Which unlocks 60,000+ beautiful icons in 10 unique styles, is also described as perfect for unlimited projects. The Pro icons are used in products, prototypes, websites, mobile apps worldwide, and are trusted by 500K+ developers and designers around the world.
Hugeicons Pro and Pro Plus are designed for professionals and teams who need a wider selection and greater flexibility. The one thing you cannot do with Pro icons is pass the icon files on to people who don't have a seat.
Can we use one seat license for multiple users?
No. One seat for one person. Each designer or developer who directly uses, imports, or accesses Hugeicons Pro must have their own seat.
The Hugeicons Pro and Pro Plus plans both include a License Key for 1 Seat, and you can add seats for every additional person on your team.
The Pro plan, priced at $99 yearly per seat, grants full access to design and developer plugins, and unlocks the 60,000+ Pro Icons in 10 styles.
Similarly, the Pro Plus plan, available for $1197 one-time per seat, also includes Figma source files and priority human support with many more services as well.
You must add the right number of seats for your team.
What happens if we exceed our seat limit?
You must purchase the additional seats from your account. There is no upper limit: buy as many seats as your team needs, at any time, directly from the pricing page.
If your usage exceeds the purchased seat count without adding seats, your account may be restricted or suspended.
Can we put icons in our team library with a single seat?
Only if you are the only person using that library. A Figma team library, shared design system or shared repository needs a seat for every person who uses it, regardless of who published it.
To place icons in a shared team library, add a seat for each teammate who will use it.
Can I use icons across multiple projects with one license?
Yes, you can use the icons across multiple projects with one license, and this applies to both the Free and Pro versions.
Free Version Usage:
- The Free Version includes 6,000+ stroke-rounded figma icons library, MIT licensed, for unlimited projects.
- Also the free React icons library is described as perfect for both projects.
Pro Version Usage:
- Hugeicons includes the Pro icons, is designed as a complete, scalable icon system for websites, mobile apps, dashboards, and design systems.
- The Pro version is noted as perfect for professional and client projects.
- The Pro Plan ($99/yearly) allows for the creation of 6 Project Icon Sets.
- The Pro Plus Plan ($1197/one-time) allows for the creation of 10 Project Icon Sets.
Can I transfer my license to another person?
You can reassign a seat to another person on your team, for example when someone leaves. You cannot sell or give the license itself to a third party.
You also may not share, sell or redistribute the Hugeicons Pro files (SVG icons or files, Icon fonts, Figma source files, Pro packages, license keys, any downloadable asset folders).
If you do this and we find a clue or evidence, we will take legal action against you.
All our legal proceedings are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates.

If I only use the free icons package, do I need a license/seat?
No, if you only use the free icons package, you do not need a license key or seat. The free icons are licensed under the MIT License, so none of the Pro restrictions apply to them. But if you want to use our amazing icons library, you can upgrade your free plan to pro plans.
For instance:
- The Free Version includes 6,000+ stroke icons, MIT licensed
- The Pro 60,000+ icons are available for unlimited projects.
- The Free Version is primarily intended for users exploring the Hugeicons library before upgrading to Pro.
Can I use Hugeicons pro to build a competing icon product?
No, you cannot use Hugeicons Pro to create a competing icon product. This protects the brand, quality, and uniqueness of Hugeicons.
Can I use Hugeicons pro icons in a theme, template or component library that I sell?
You can use Hugeicons Pro icons in products (such as a website, web app, mobile app, SaaS product, or plugin) that you sell or charge for.
But you cannot include the icon source files in anything other people download and reuse, such as a theme, template, UI kit or component library, whether free or paid.
Permitted Usage:
- You are fully allowed to use Hugeicons Pro in websites, web apps, mobile apps, SaaS products, and plugins for unlimited personal and commercial projects, including applications that charge users a subscription or one-time fee.
- Your users and end-viewers can see and interact with the icons within your project or product without needing their own license.
Prohibited Usage:
You are NOT allowed to share, sell, or redistribute Hugeicons Pro source files. This is the critical restriction when selling templates or component libraries.
- You cannot ship the SVGs, icon fonts, design files or component files inside a theme, template, starter kit, UI kit, component library, registry or plugin that others download.
- These files cannot be published online, shared publicly, or provided to anyone who has not purchased a license.
- Rule of thumb: if the buyer ends up with reusable icon files, it is not allowed. If they end up with a finished product that merely shows the icons, it is allowed.
For anything you distribute this way, use the free icons instead. They are MIT licensed and can be redistributed freely.
Furthermore, you cannot use Hugeicons Pro to create another icon library or any product that competes directly with Hugeicons.
Can I use Hugeicons pro icons in an open-source project?
Not in the repository itself, because the SVG or component files would be redistributed to everyone who clones it. The same applies to public npm packages, shadcn registries and WordPress, Framer or Webflow plugins.
You can use Pro icons in the hosted version of your project, and the MIT-licensed free icons in the repository. Private packages used only by seated teammates are fine.
If I need more seats after buying, how much would I pay?
Additional seats are added at the per-seat rate shown on the pricing page. After you buy a plan and realise your team needs more seats, you can add them from your account at any time.
