Open Icons for ACF is a WordPress plugin that replaces manual icon uploads with a built-in, searchable icon picker inside Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). It bundles more than 7,000 icons from the Lucide, Tabler, and Heroicons libraries and renders them server-side as inline SVG, avoiding extra JavaScript, CSS, or CDN requests. Developers pull icons into templates with a get_openicon() PHP function that supports size, color, and class overrides, plus a three-token color system for theme-wide styling. The plugin also supports custom SVG uploads (automatically sanitized) and an icon-migration tool for switching between libraries without breaking existing field references. It works with ACF Free or Pro and is compatible with page builders and headless WordPress setups.

Server-side SVG rendering — Icons render server-side as inline SVG with zero added frontend JavaScript, CSS, or CDN requests.
get_openicon() PHP API — A simple PHP function for pulling icons into templates with size, color, and class overrides.
Custom color token system — Three configurable color tokens (A, B, C) apply consistent styling across all icons on a site.
Custom SVG uploads — Upload your own SVG icons, which are automatically sanitized and stored alongside the bundled libraries.
