What is the Discord Brand Icon Search?
The Discord Brand Icon Search tool gives you instant access to thousands of high-quality vector icons from the Iconify open-source library. Whether you need icons for your Discord server roles, channel topics, bot commands, or custom emojis, this tool lets you browse, customize, and export icons in seconds without any design software.
Unlike raster images that become blurry when scaled, these icons are vector-based SVGs that remain perfectly sharp at any size. You can export them as SVG files for unlimited scalability or as PNG images at your desired resolution. The search covers popular icon sets including Material Design, Font Awesome, Tabler, Phosphor, and dozens more.
The tool is particularly useful for Discord server administrators who want to create consistent role icons, channel category indicators, or themed emoji sets. By searching from a single unified library, you can find icons with matching styles and weights to maintain visual consistency across your server.
How to Use This Tool
- Type a keyword into the search box to find relevant icons. Try descriptive terms like "shield," "music," "gaming," "crown," or "notification." The search queries the Iconify API in real time.
- Browse the results grid and click on any icon to select it. The preview will show the icon at a larger size with export options.
- Customize the icon color using the color picker to match your server's theme or role colors.
- Choose your export format: SVG for vector graphics you can further edit, or PNG for ready-to-use raster images at a specific pixel size.
- Set the PNG export size if needed. For Discord emojis, use 128 by 128 pixels. For role icons, use 64 by 64 pixels.
- Download the icon and upload it wherever you need it in Discord - as an emoji, role icon, or use it in external graphics projects.

Tips for Using Icons in Discord
- For role icons (64 by 64 pixels), choose simple single-color icons that remain recognizable at small sizes. Complex multi-element icons lose detail at role icon dimensions.
- Use consistent icon weights across your server. If you use outlined/stroke icons for some roles, use the same style for all roles.
- Discord role icons display at approximately 20 pixels in the member list. Test visibility by zooming out on your exported PNG.
- SVG exports are perfect for further editing in tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape if you want to combine multiple icons or add custom elements.
- Create themed emoji sets by searching related terms and applying the same color to all results. This gives your server a professional, cohesive feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these icons free to use?
Yes. The Iconify library aggregates icons from open-source icon sets. Most are available under MIT, Apache 2.0, or CC BY licenses that permit free use including commercial applications. Attribution requirements vary by icon set but are generally not required for Discord usage.
What is the difference between SVG and PNG export?
SVG files are vector graphics that can be scaled to any size without quality loss. They are ideal for further editing or when you need multiple sizes. PNG files are raster images at a fixed pixel dimension - they are what Discord directly accepts for emojis, role icons, and other uploads.
How do I use role icons in Discord?
Role icons require Server Boost Level 2 (7 boosts). Once unlocked, go to Server Settings, then Roles, select a role, and upload a 64 by 64 pixel image. The icon appears next to the role name in the member list and in chat messages from members with that role.
Can I change the icon color after downloading?
If you downloaded an SVG, you can open it in any text editor and change the fill or stroke color values. For PNG files, you would need to re-export from this tool with the new color. Using SVG for your source files gives you maximum flexibility for future color changes.
