## Add icons to a resume in three easy steps

### Pick a Small, Plain Set

A resume icon sits at around 12 to 16px next to text. Pick a set built to stay legible at that size.

### Match Your Text Color

Set the icon to the same color as the text beside it, or one step lighter, so it supports the line instead of shouting.

### Paste Into Your Document

Export as PNG for Word, Pages, or Google Docs. Use SVG if you are building the resume in a design tool.

## PNG or SVG for a resume?

It depends on where you are building the document.

|                          | PNG | SVG |
| ------------------------ | --- | --- |
| Word, Pages, Google Docs | Yes | No  |
| Figma or a design tool   | No  | Yes |
| Stays sharp when printed | No  | Yes |
| Recolor after placing    | No  | Yes |

## Where these icons get used

### Section Headers and Skills

One icon per section, at the same size and weight throughout, keeps a one-page resume looking deliberate rather than decorated.

### Contact Details That Scan Fast

A small icon next to a phone number, email, or location lets a recruiter find the detail without reading the label.

## Where Icons Belong on a Resume

Most resume icons do one of two jobs: marking contact details at the top, or labeling a section like experience, education, or skills.

Both jobs want the same thing from an icon, which is to be recognized instantly at a small size and then get out of the way.

## Keep It Small and Consistent

Micro is drawn on a 10px grid with no unnecessary detail, which is exactly what a 12px icon beside a line of text needs.

Core works well a size up, for section headers. Whichever you pick, use one set for the whole document rather than mixing two.

## Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about using icons on a resume or CV.

### What are icons for a resume?

Resume icons are small graphics placed next to contact details or section headers, so a reader can find information at a glance instead of reading every label.

### Where can I download icons for a resume?

Visit [streamlinehq.com/icons](https://www.streamlinehq.com/icons), pick a small, plain set, and export as PNG for a document or SVG for a design tool.

### Should I use icons on a resume at all?

They help when they mark something a reader is scanning for, like a phone number or an email. They hurt when there is one beside every line, since the page stops having a clear focus.

### Which icon size works on a resume?

Around 12 to 16px next to body text. Micro is drawn on a 10px grid for exactly this, so it stays legible where a more detailed icon would turn to mush.

### Are these icons free?

Yes. Every family shown here has a free tier you can use on a resume today, no card required.

### Can I use them on a resume I send to employers?

Yes. You can use them for all personal and commercial projects.
