Divi includes 380 icons that are available to any module that uses icons, and 3 social icons for the footer. While that’s usually enough for most basic websites, it does limit the design possibilities. Fortunately, there are a lot of icons, such as those from FontAwesome and Material Icons, that are free to use.

In this article, we’ll look at how to add those and more icons to Divi.

Divi’s Built-in Icons

Of Divi’s 380 icons, 69 of those are social icons, which includes 23 networks or services with three icons per network. This includes an RSS icon, the standard social sharing icon, and a socializing people icon, so the number of actual networks is closer to 20. In reality, they’re actually three different versions of the same icon: non-circled, circled, and squared, so the design is limited.

There are even fewer social media icons in the theme options. These icons are used in the header and footer. It includes Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. It also includes an RSS icon. This is a good start, but almost anyone would need more than this, or at the very least, a few different networks such as Pinterest, YouTube, or LinkedIn.

Divi’s icons are nice and they get the job done, but the design limitations are really the issue to consider. The fewer icons you have to choose from, the more similar our website’s details will look. It makes sense to have more icons to choose from.

It makes me think of the number of colors we had to choose from, well, a “few” years ago. It wasn’t really that long ago when we could only use 256 colors. Design was limited. Now, we have all the colors we need, so we’re not limited in our color choices. I think of icons in the same way. 380 icons is a lot to choose from, but it’s still limiting. Imagine if that were tripled or quadrupled. Having more icons opens up design possibilities in those small details that make our sites stand out from the rest.

How to Add More Icons to Divi with Icon Plugins

Fortunately, there are a lot more icons that we can add to Divi. Also, fortunately, it isn’t hard to add them. The easiest way I’ve found is by using a plugin. Here are a few of my favorites. They’re in no particular order.

Ending Thoughts

The 380 icons built into Divi aren’t anything to sneeze at, but adding more is always a good idea to help expand your design options. This list of plugins makes it easy to add thousands of new icons that are freely available. Several even include custom icons that you can’t get anywhere else. A few even have some customization features. Adding new icons to Divi couldn’t be easier.
