Using Font Awesome icons

Font Awesome is a variety of scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, shadow, and other changes that can be done with the power of CSS.

1500+ icons for you

You can use any of 1500+ icons free of charge anywhere in your Help Center (layout, articles, etc.). They are already included in all our themes. Find all Font Awesome icons and their codes on this page.

Font Awesome inside the text

It is rather easy to insert a Font Awesome icon to any text of your Help Center  . Font Awesome is completely free for commercial use  . The icons are vector, which means they're gorgeous on high-resolution displays  . It is very easy to make your own design by changing icons' color, size, shadow, and anything that's possible with CSS  .

Please note that Zendesk's editor removes empty tags added to the source code. Make sure that you are adding non-breaking space &nbsp; to the code. For example, instead of:

<em class="fas fa-pencil"> </em>

use:

<em class="fas fa-pencil">&nbsp;</em>

Font Awesome titles

You can use any icons from Font Awesome library for making your titles more stylish and memorable!

  Title with a motorcycle

  Title with a calculator

  Title with binoculars

  Title with a heartbeat

<h4><em class="fas fa-2x fa-motorcycle">&nbsp;</em> Title with a motorcycle</h4>
<h4 class="wysiwyg-color-green120"><em class="fas fa-2x fa-calculator">&nbsp;</em> Title a the calculator</h4>
<h4 class="wysiwyg-color-pink"><em class="fas fa-2x fa-binoculars">&nbsp;</em> Title with binoculars</h4>
<h4 class="wysiwyg-color-red"><em class="fas fa-2x fa-heartbeat">&nbsp;</em> Title with a heartbeat</h4>

And not only your titles:

 

Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further... And then one fine morning So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

<div class="fas fa-quote-left fa-3x fa-pull-left fa-border">&nbsp;</div>
<p>Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further... And then one fine morning So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.</p>
