Most icon sets give you flexibility. Smallbits does the opposite. Every icon is designed on an 8×8 grid – 64 pixels, no more. The constraint is the concept: what's the minimum an icon needs to still be recognisable? 200+ icons in Figma and SVG, completely free for personal and commercial use.

Hey everyone 👋
Smallbits started as a question: what's the minimum number of pixels an icon needs to still be recognisable? Turns out, 8 pixels on each side is the answer – and every point needs to earn its place!
I started this set last summer, kept putting off launching because something was always missing. Eventually I just shipped it. It's a work in progress and I know some categories are thin – but I'd rather hear what you need than sit on it for another year.
A few things worth knowing:
Completely free, personal and commercial use
Available as a Figma file and SVGs
Drawn on iPad in Pixaki, vectorised in Figma
More icons are coming
If there's an icon you'd love to see added, drop it in the comments. I'm building a list.
Love the constraint - 8x8 forces the kind of clarity that bigger icons let you cheat your way around. The pixel aesthetic also fits perfectly with the retro/terminal-style UIs that are everywhere now. Free for commercial use is super generous too. Bookmarking!

@auglon best things happen when you allow yourself to work under extreme constraints 😉
