Top 5 Icon Fonts (via CDN) for websites

On the web we will be seeing different kinds of icons on many websites but many think those icons were designed and kept as images but it is not true, those are just imported from different online libraries. You just need to add the particular class or custom tag provided by the icon pack to view those icons. Today I am going to provide the top 5 icon packs to use on the online. These packs can be used on blogger, wordpress, joomla or in your custom HTML pages.

Installation Process

  1. Choose your icon pack provider
  2. Download the pack or use the CDN link
  3. If you are working in HTML paste the CDN HTML code inside the <head> tag.
  4. Depending on the icon pack choose the desired icon and use the provided syntax to add the icon in your page.
