Try this first: search for “Home” or “Heart” on withicons.com and flip through the styles. The same icon goes from clean line to Christmas, Lunar New Year red and gold, liquid chrome, Y2K sticker and gothic stained glass. Then hover over it. It moves.

Hi HN, I’m Soumya. withicons is a free, MIT-licensed set of 1,000 icons, each in 34 styles. No sign-up, no attribution, no paywalled “pro” styles.

Why I built it: every December, teams want their site, app or emails to feel festive, and the usual result is clip art bolted onto a clean UI. Here, the icon you already use has a matching Christmas version, so you can switch for the holidays and switch back in January.

What’s in it:

1. Holiday styles: Christmas, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, plus Rangoli and Utsav for Diwali and Holi. Also, a small set of holiday specific icons too. 2. Styles I haven’t seen in other free sets: Chrome, Liquid glass, Clay, Sticker, Brutal, Gothic, Kawaii 3. Animation on every icon: loops (a bell rings, a heart beats), play on hover, and morphs like play to pause. @withicons/motion for the web, respects reduce motion 4. 36 download formats, including SVG, PNG, Lottie, GIF, MP4 and PowerPoint, so it works in code, Figma, slides and email 5. Loader Studio with over 100 pre-built loader designs.

How it was made: I hand-designed seed icons for each style, then used AI to generate the rest and cleaned them up. Roast the weakest style. I’d rather fix it now.

Which holiday or style should I add next? I’ll build whatever gets the most votes in this thread.
