Free Social Media Icons HTML Generator

Okay. Here is how to use free social media icon HTML generator above.

1. First, select the social media icons you wish to use (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, etc.). You can choose as many social networks as you like and they will populate in the preview bar.
2. Customize your social icons by choosing the background shape. Choose a style that goes with your website.
3. Now you can select a color theme. Select a color that matches the color scheme of your website.
4. The next section needs the URL of your social network accounts. Go. to each social network that you are adding and copy and paste the URLs of your social media profiles next to the corresponding icons.
5. Select a support amount. (Free is an option, but your support helps me improve the site!)

You will be provided with a snippet of HTML code that includes vector social icons that you can copy and paste into your website. Because these are vector icons, they do not rely on hosted images and they do not need to interact with the Niftybuttons.com website to work. This means NiftyButtons.com could disappear tomorrow and your buttons will still work. I recommend pasting the code into a plain text document for safekeeping. But be careful, using a word processing app (like word or Google docs) can add formatting that may break the code.

Adding the HTML Social Icons to Your Website

Most website builders will have designated ways to insert HTML code. If you’re not sure where to paste the code, you will need to contact your web host, web designer, or developer for help. I’ve also provided a few links below that may be of use. More answers can be found in our FAQ section.

When it comes to social media icons and buttons, there are two major players in the game: follow icons and share buttons. But what’s the deal with each, and why should you care? Well, here’s the breakdown:

Social Follow Buttons

Follow buttons are all about guiding your website visitors to your social media profiles so they can “follow” you. That’s what this page helps you create. Once yo9u have installed them on your website, when someone clicks on your icons and BOOM—they land on your brand’s Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram page. It’s here that people can hit “follow” and join your online community.

What About Share Icons?

On the flip side, you’ve got share buttons. These handy little social buttons let people share your content—like a blog post or a product—straight from your website to their social media profiles. It’s a quick and easy way for your visitors to share your content with their followers on social media.
