Font Awesome Integration Guide

Font Awesome is a popular icon library. Add it to any website in minutes.

1. Add via CDN (quickest)

Paste this in your <head> before closing </head>:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.5.1/css/all.min.css" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />

2. Use icons

Font Awesome 6 uses two styles: solid (fas) and regular (far). Example:

<i class="fas fa-heart"></i>      <!-- solid heart -->
<i class="far fa-heart"></i>      <!-- regular heart -->
<i class="fas fa-home"></i>      <!-- home icon -->
<i class="fas fa-search"></i>    <!-- search icon -->

3. NPM install (for build tools)

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

Then import in your main JS/CSS:

import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css';

4. Find icons

Browse all icons at fontawesome.com/icons. Search by name (e.g. user, settings, star).

5. Kit (Pro / custom)

Font Awesome offers a Kit for Pro subscribers: one script URL that loads your chosen icons. For most projects, the free CDN above is enough.
