Chapter 46: Icons Image
1. What is the “Icons Image” Page?
This page collects only the icons that represent images, photos, pictures, galleries, cameras, film rolls, portraits, landscape orientation, camera-related actions (photo, video, film), and visual media.
These icons are extremely useful for:
- Photography / portfolio websites
- Image gallery / photo album sections
- “Upload Photo” or “Add Image” buttons
- Blog post “Featured Image” placeholders
- Social media / profile picture indicators
- Video / film / media player controls
- “Take Photo” or “Record Video” buttons in apps
- Camera app interfaces
- “View Gallery” or “Open Images” links
- E-commerce product photo thumbnails
In Font Awesome 5 free, the Image category is medium-sized and very practical (around 15–25 icons, mostly solid fas style, some regular far). Newer versions (FA6/7) added many more (camera-retro variants, image-polaroid, photo-film, camera-movie, aperture), but FA5 free already has the most commonly used image & camera symbols that are still powering almost every photo gallery, portfolio, social app, and media website in 2026.
2. Main Free Image Icons in Font Awesome 5 (From the W3Schools Page)
Here are the most important and frequently used free ones you’ll see in the table (solid fas unless noted):
- Image / Picture 🖼️ (generic photo / landscape frame) <i class=”fas fa-image”></i> (also far fa-image)
- Images (multiple photos stacked) <i class=”fas fa-images”></i>
- Camera 📷 (classic camera) <i class=”fas fa-camera”></i>
- Camera Retro 📷 (retro / vintage camera) <i class=”fas fa-camera-retro”></i>
- Video 🎥 (video camera / film camera) <i class=”fas fa-video”></i>
- Video Slash 🎥🚫 (video off / no camera) <i class=”fas fa-video-slash”></i>
- Film 🎞️ (film strip / movie reel) <i class=”fas fa-film”></i>
- Portrait 🖼️ (vertical photo frame) <i class=”fas fa-portrait”></i>
- Photo Video 📸🎥 (photo + video combined) <i class=”fas fa-photo-video”></i>
- Eye 👁️ (view / preview image) <i class=”fas fa-eye”></i>
- Eye Slash 🙈 (hide / no preview) <i class=”fas fa-eye-slash”></i>
- Expand / Compress (fullscreen / minimize image view) <i class=”fas fa-expand”></i> / <i class=”fas fa-compress”></i>
- Crop ✂️ (crop image tool) <i class=”fas fa-crop”></i> (overlap with Design)
- Crop Alt ✂️ (alternative crop style) <i class=”fas fa-crop-alt”></i>
These are the core free Image icons in FA5 — very clean and instantly understandable for any photo/video/media context.

4. Teacher Summary – Quick Recap
Font Awesome 5 Image Icons = W3Schools’ page listing free image/photo/camera icons like image 🖼️, images (stack) 📸, camera 📷, camera-retro 📷, video 🎥, film 🎞️, portrait 🖼️, photo-video 📸🎥, eye 👁️, crop ✂️, etc.
Very useful for:
- Photography portfolios
- Image upload / gallery sections
- Social media / profile picture buttons
- Media players / video thumbnails
- “Add Photo” / “View Images” features
Got it now? Want me to:
- Build a full “Photography Portfolio” or “Image Gallery” demo page with these icons?
- Show how they look in a modern social media profile upload flow?
- Compare FA5 vs FA6/7 image icons (way more camera & photo variants in newer versions)?
- Or move to the next category like “Icons Images” (yes, there’s also a separate Images category right after)?
Just tell your teacher — we’re capturing memories today! 📸🖼️🎥🚀
