Let\u2019s see what we can do with icons.<br \/>\nThere are a few ways to implement an icon to the React Native project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to use <code>ReactNative.Image<\/code> component<\/li>\n<li>to use <code>ReactNative.View<\/code> to create pseudo shapes by styling<\/li>\n<li>to use icon set package, like <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/oblador\/react-native-vector-icons\">react-native-vector-icons<\/a><\/li>\n<li>to use <code>svg<\/code> code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.productcrafters.io\/blog\/adding-svg-icons-to-your-react-native-app\/#Reasons_not_to_use_Image_component_for_icons\" >Reasons not to use Image component for icons<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.productcrafters.io\/blog\/adding-svg-icons-to-your-react-native-app\/#Pseudo_shapes_with_ReactNativeView\" >Pseudo shapes with ReactNative.View<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.productcrafters.io\/blog\/adding-svg-icons-to-your-react-native-app\/#Vector_icon_font\" >Vector icon font<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.productcrafters.io\/blog\/adding-svg-icons-to-your-react-native-app\/#Render_icons_in_your_react_native_project_as_svg_code\" >Render icons in your react native project as svg code<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_not_to_use_Image_component_for_icons\"><\/span>Reasons not to use Image component for icons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For sure we can use the <code>Image<\/code> component for the icons. But this option is suitable if you have only a few icons. And if it doesn&#8217;t matter for you whether their edges don\u2019t look good on some devices. And it really can happen, because each device can render scaling artifacts on your icon.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few reasons why not to use Image Component:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s a bit uncomfortable to link every icon you add to project<\/li>\n<li><code>Image<\/code> component doesn\u2019t support vector formats. So your damn good icon should have different size variants to avoid scaling artifacts. Like 6 logical density buckets for Android devices<\/li>\n<li>If you want to change icon color, shape or dimensions, you need to use an image editor and save the image in all sizes suitable to a screen pixel density<\/li>\n<li>Downsampling and upsampling of your bitmap image can make your app consume more resources than with vector variant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1457\" src=\"http:\/\/productcrafters.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/screen-densities.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pseudo_shapes_with_ReactNativeView\"><\/span>Pseudo shapes with ReactNative.View<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you need simple arrows, video play icon, etc., you can challenge your knowledge of geometry and React Native styles. Divide your icon into simple shapes and draw them by <code>View<\/code> component with border style and <code>transform<\/code> magic.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t feel like a diving dip into geometry, next author did the job for you. In his article, you can find examples and graphic artifacts that can appear in some cases &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/codedaily.io\/tutorials\/22\/The-Shapes-of-React-Native\">The Shapes of React Native<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1458\" src=\"http:\/\/productcrafters.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/snack-expo-play-icon.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"682\" height=\"722\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But if you have more than a few icons and their shapes are more complicated, try to use vector icons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vector_icon_font\"><\/span>Vector icon font<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Vector Icon Font can be comfortable enough when you have approved design mockups with a big number of icons for the project. It would be good if a designer already combined and generated icons into font. Otherwise, you will need to do that. For this, you can go to <a href=\"https:\/\/icomoon.io\/app\/#\/select\">IcoMoon\u2019s site<\/a>, import the icons and generate font. Remember you might have problems with some SVG images.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you can use predefined icon fonts if one from offered options suits your design.<br \/>\nPopular icon font packages for React Native:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/oblador\/react-native-vector-icons\">Vector Icons<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/FortAwesome\/react-native-fontawesome\">React Native Font Awesome<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But if you want to add your custom icon to font, it can be a bit complicated, \u2018cause you will need some tools to edit font.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Render_icons_in_your_react_native_project_as_svg_code\"><\/span>Render icons in your react native project as svg code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IMHO the best option is to keep the icons in the code. In this case, you will be able to edit them at any time with your default editor. It\u2019s also comfortable when you work in a big team or with rapidly changing projects. <code>svg<\/code> code isn\u2019t hard to understand so everyone can easily edit these icons.<\/p>\n<p>React Native has a built-in library that can draw pretty much any shape. On the native side, React Native ART translates paths to Core Graphics on iOS and Canvas on Android. But it has only one class called Path and it can be a bit tricky to convert all your svg icons.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend to use <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/react-native-community\/react-native-svg\">react-native-svg<\/a> package. It was branched from React Native ART and provides an HTML SVG-like interface.<br \/>\nAll you need is to convert <code>svg<\/code> parameters to kebab-case and write <code>svg<\/code> tags first letter uppercase, \u2018cause now they are react components.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"js\">import React from 'react'\r\nimport { View } from 'react-native'\r\nimport Svg, { \r\n  Circle, Ellipse, G, Text, TSpan, TextPath, Path, Polygon, Polyline, Line, Rect, Use, Image, Symbol, Defs, LinearGradient, RadialGradient, Stop, ClipPath, Pattern, Mask \r\n} from 'react-native-svg'\r\n\r\nconst AlertIcon = () =&gt; (\r\n  &lt;View&gt;\r\n    &lt;Svg viewBox=\"0 0 25 25\" width=\"21\" height=\"21\"&gt;\r\n      &lt;Path\r\n        class=\"st0\"\r\n        fill=\"#000\" d=\"M25.04,20C23.73,20,22,18,22,16.83v-5.52c0-4.06-2.94-7.8-6.98-8.89c-0.01,0-0.03-0.01-0.04-0.01 long long path in a far far away galaxy\"\r\n      \/&gt;\r\n    &lt;\/Svg&gt;\r\n  &lt;\/View&gt;\r\n)\r\n\r\nexport {\r\n  AlertIcon\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>If you want to customize your icons dinamically, change React Native styles or <code>svg<\/code> parameters.<br \/>\nYou can pass variables to your <code>svg<\/code> icon component.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"js\">const AlertIcon = ({ style, color = '#494b4c' }) =&gt; (\r\n  &lt;View style={style}&gt;\r\n    &lt;Svg viewBox=\"0 0 25 25\" width=\"21\" height=\"21\"&gt;\r\n      &lt;Path\r\n        class=\"st0\"\r\n        fill={color} d=\"M25.04,20C23.73,20,22,18,22,16.83v-5.52c0-4.06-2.94-7.8-6.98-8.89c-0.01,0-0.03-0.01-0.04-0.01 long long path\"\r\n      \/&gt;\r\n    &lt;\/Svg&gt;\r\n  &lt;\/View&gt;\r\n)<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>As you see, there are enough options to implement icons into your React Native project.
