# LottieFiles releases Generative Icons, free animated icons for agents

LottieFiles released [Generative Icons](<https://lottiefiles.com/blog/working-with-lottie-animations/generative-icons-free-animated-ui-icons>), a free, open-source library of 1,161 animated UI icons that a coding agent can search, install and add to. It's the third release of the company's launch week.

Each icon is a single dotLottie file with Light and Strong motions and dark and light themes built in. Your app changes the color, the style (outline, solid or duotone) and the line weight at runtime, so there's nothing to re-export. Every icon also downloads as an animated SVG, and you can bundle several icons into one `.lottie` file.

Agents reach the library through an MCP server at `https://generativeicons.com/mcp` or a REST API. Both are read-only and need no sign-in. Point Claude, Cursor or another agent at the server and it searches in plain language, such as payment failed or turn on notifications, and installs the right icon.

If the icon you need is missing, describe it and a new one is generated in the same style in a few minutes. Generation runs on Creator MCP, which builds the motion and exports a Lottie file after the icon's spec is validated and reviewed. On [the site](<https://generativeicons.com/>) it needs a free LottieFiles account and is limited to 10 generations a day per person. A coding agent can also create one in your project with the `generative-icons` CLI. Generated icons appear in a Community section marked Unreviewed until the LottieFiles team approves them.

The library, community icons included, is MIT licensed for personal and commercial apps.
