How to Convert Icon Fonts to Vue Components
Using icon fonts in Vue typically means installing packages like @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome, lucide-vue-next, or @heroicons/vue. IconFontToPNG lets you skip that entirely:
- Search for an icon — Type a name to search across 30,000+ icons from Font Awesome, Material Design, Heroicons, and 8 more libraries.
- Set size and color — Choose your preferred dimensions and color. Both are embedded in the SVG.
- Copy the Vue SFC — Click "Copy Vue Component" to get a complete single-file component with
<template> and <script setup>. Save as a .vue file or paste inline.
Why Use Standalone Vue Components Instead of Icon Packages?
- Zero dependencies — No npm install. The component is just SVG inside a Vue template.
- Smaller bundle — Only the icons you use. No library code, no tree-shaking configuration.
- No plugin setup — Icon font packages often need a Vue plugin or global registration. A standalone SFC just works.
- Works everywhere — Nuxt, Vite, Vue CLI, Quasar — any Vue 3 project. No special config.
- No version drift — Icon packages update often. A standalone component never breaks from a dependency update.
What You Get
Each Vue component is a clean single-file component:
<template>
<svg width="24" height="24" fill="#52c41a" viewBox="0 0 512 512">
<path d="M502.6 278.6c12.5-12.5..."/>
</svg>
</template>
<script setup>
defineOptions({ name: 'arrow-right' })
</script>Import it like any Vue component: import IconArrow from './IconArrow.vue'. Use in template: <IconArrow />.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to use Font Awesome icons in Vue without installing the package?
Search for the icon above, click it, and press "Copy Vue Component". You get a complete .vue SFC. Save it as a file and import it — no npm install needed.
Does the Vue component work with Nuxt?
Yes. It's a standard Vue 3 SFC with <script setup>. Works with Nuxt 3/4, Vite, Vue CLI, and any Vue 3 project.
Can I use these components with Vue 2?
The generated code uses Vue 3 syntax (script setup, defineOptions). For Vue 2, copy the SVG from the template section and wrap it in a Vue 2 component manually.
Why not use unplugin-icons or nuxt-icon?
Those are great for large projects, but they add build-time dependencies and configuration. If you need just a few icons, a standalone SFC is simpler and has zero setup.
Can I change size and color after copying?
Yes. Edit the width, height, and fill/stroke attributes directly in the SVG. Or convert them to Vue props for dynamic control.
Can I convert Material Design icons to Vue components?
Yes. All 2,122 Material Design icons are available. Search, click, copy. Same for all 11 supported icon libraries (30,000+ icons total).
Is this free?
Yes, 100% free. No signup, no limits. Everything runs in your browser — no data is uploaded.
Do I need TypeScript?
No. The generated SFC works in plain JavaScript Vue projects. It also works in TypeScript projects with no extra type declarations needed.
