I like using font awesome to create icons on my website but it didn't have any icons as I wanted. Is there a way to add custom icons to font awesome? does anyone have experience on this? please guide. Thanks

Hmm that's a great question! I'm not entirely sure, but I'll find this out for you.

Hello @AdminKings, I've did a bit of research and I don't believe you can upload your own custom icons. If someone has more information, please correct me.

Perhaps try taking a look at https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/wiki/Customize-Font-Awesome

Hi there.

You have a few options to do this.

One of the better options is this https://fontcustom.github.io/fontcustom/ this allows you to create your own font from SVG files, if you feel limited by font-awesome icons, this is a good option.

Second is more complex which requires you to again upload your own SVG files into a folder, create custom fonts and combining font-awesome with your SVG files.

Hope this helps.
