Frequently Asked Questions

Why We Built This Font Awesome Validator

Font Awesome has become the go-to icon library for web developers worldwide, offering thousands of high-quality icons for modern web applications. However, many developers discover too late that they have accidentally used Font Awesome Pro icons in their projects - icons that require a paid license and won't display properly in production. This advanced Font Awesome validator solves this problem with powerful features that go far beyond simple validation - including AI-powered migration guides, public URL scanning, and cross-version validation across Font Awesome 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Validate from anywhere. Paste your code directly OR enter a public URL to scan live websites and automatically detect all Font Awesome icons in use. Perfect for auditing production sites, reviewing third-party themes, or quickly checking icon usage without downloading files. The validator parses HTML, CSS, React JSX, Vue templates, Angular components, and all major frameworks - detecting icons across all styles including solid (fas), regular (far), light (fal), brands (fab), and duotone. Supports FontAwesome 4.7.0 (730 icons), 5.15.4 (1,608 icons), 6.0.0 (1,895 icons), 6.7.1 (1,895 icons), and 7.1.0 (1,918 icons).

AI-powered migration guides. This is where it gets powerful. When the validator finds Pro-only icons or outdated FA5 icons, it doesn't just flag them - it generates comprehensive migration guides that you can export as Markdown, JSON, or CSV and feed directly to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. The AI can then automatically fix your entire codebase based on 135+ verified FA5→FA6→FA7 migrations, complete with file locations and smart suggestions for free alternatives. Every migration has been validated against actual Font Awesome data to ensure 100% accuracy across all versions.

Precision tracking. When scanning local files, the validator tracks exact file locations (path, line, column) for every icon detected. Export these locations in your AI migration guide and watch your AI assistant fix every single instance across your entire project - no manual searching required. Whether you are migrating from Font Awesome Pro to Free, upgrading from Font Awesome 4 to Font Awesome 7, or auditing an existing codebase for license compliance, this validator streamlines your workflow and saves hours of manual debugging. RJL.io builds developer tools that solve real problems - this Font Awesome validator is production-ready and built by developers, for developers.
