Tutorial — what free means here
A free SVG downloader with nothing held back
“Free” usually means free until the useful part. Here it means the bulk export, the format conversion and the clipboard are all free too, because there is no paid tier for them to live in.
Watch it — 17 seconds
Every feature, no gate
The thing to notice is what does not happen: no sign-in wall before the ZIP, no watermark on the output, no counter of remaining free downloads.
What the recording shows
- No account, no trial, no watermark
- Every icon on the page, free to preview
- Single downloads — free
- Bulk ZIP — also free
- MIT-licensed and on-device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
The usual catches
The four places free SVG tools normally stop being free
It is a well-worn pattern, and worth naming so you can check any tool against it — including this one.
- The bulk export is the paid feature. Downloading one file is free; downloading the set requires an account. Here, Download all as ZIP is free.
- A daily limit. Five free downloads, then come back tomorrow. There is no limit here, and no counter, because nothing is counted — there is no server to count with.
- A watermark or a downgrade. The free output is stamped, or quietly reduced in quality. The output here is the page's own markup, unmodified apart from the namespace repair and the security sanitising.
- An account before you can do anything. Sign up, verify an email, then download. There is no account here at all, and nowhere to make one.
The reason none of these apply is structural rather than generous: the extension has no server. Everything happens inside your browser, on your machine. There is no per-user cost to recover, so there is nothing to meter — and no infrastructure that would need paying for if it became popular.
Using the free features
Which is all of them.
- Install it. From the Chrome Web Store, for Chrome, Edge or Brave. No account, no email, no card.
- Download single vectors. Open the popup, page to what you want, name it, press Download current. Unlimited.
- Download the whole page as a ZIP. Download all as ZIP, de-duplicated and numbered. Also unlimited, and not behind anything.
- Convert and copy. Switch the format segment to PNG or JPG to convert on the way out, or use Copy code and Copy image for the clipboard. All free.
Free as in licence, too
The extension is MIT-licensed and the source is on GitHub. You can read every line, satisfy yourself about what it does with your pages, fork it, or build it yourself and load it unpacked without going through a store at all. For anyone who is reasonably suspicious of an extension that can read the page they are on — which is a healthy instinct — that is the part that actually answers the concern, rather than a privacy policy asking you to take it on trust.
What it asks for
The permissions are worth reading in full because they are short. activeTab means it can see a page when you click its button, and not otherwise. downloads writes the files. contextMenus adds the right-click item. scripting injects the code that reads the page. storage keeps your settings locally. There is no host permission, so it is not running on every page you visit in the background, and its content security policy blocks it from connecting anywhere — connect-src 'none', meaning it structurally cannot phone home.
Free icon sources worth knowing
If what you actually need is icons you are unambiguously licensed to use, start there rather than extracting them: Heroicons (MIT), Feather (MIT), Lucide (ISC), Bootstrap Icons (MIT), Material Symbols (Apache 2.0) and Simple Icons (CC0) all publish complete sets with clear licences. Extraction is for when you need a specific vector from a specific page — not a substitute for a properly licensed set.

Good to know
Frequently asked
Is the bulk ZIP download free too?
Yes. Every feature is free — single downloads, bulk ZIP, PNG and JPG conversion, and both clipboard copies. There is no paid tier for anything to be held back in.
Is there a daily download limit?
No, and there is no counter either. Nothing is counted because there is no server to count with — everything runs on your machine.
Are the downloaded files watermarked?
No. You get the page’s own markup, changed only by the xmlns namespace repair and the removal of scripts and event handlers.
How is it free? What is the catch?
There is no server, so there is no per-user cost to recover. The extension is MIT-licensed and the source is public, so the claim is checkable rather than something you have to trust.
Where can I get free SVG icons I am definitely licensed to use?
Heroicons, Feather, Lucide, Bootstrap Icons, Material Symbols and Simple Icons all publish complete sets under clear open licences. For a project, start there rather than extracting from a site.
Free, and checkable
MIT-licensed, no server, no account — and the source is public.
