Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add SVG icons to an Astro project?

The simplest way is to copy the SVG code and paste it directly into an .astro component. For larger projects, use the astro-icon package or the Iconify integration which provides access to 379,000+ icons with automatic tree-shaking.

Do SVG icons add JavaScript to my Astro build?

No. Inline SVGs are rendered at build time as static HTML, no client JS is shipped. Even with the Iconify integration, icons are resolved at build time in SSG mode, keeping your pages lightweight.

Which icon pack works best with Astro and Tailwind?

Heroicons was designed by the Tailwind CSS team and integrates naturally. Lucide and Tabler are also excellent choices with consistent sizing and stroke widths that pair well with Tailwind utility classes.
