Its very hard to find the correct code for a flag if you dont have this country list. I tried to look for it in the example page and in the non minified css, and i couldn't find it.

I would recommend optimizing SVGs using SVGO.

I've done this for all 4x3 SVGs and saved quite a lot of bits:

Average size saved per file: 50.61%
Total size saved: 33.29%

Total file sizes before:
Before: 4690.31 KiB
After: 3128.94 KiB

Average file size:
Before: 18.84 KiB
After: 12.57 KiB

(Strangely I should mention that aw.svg and ms.svg got bigger!)

This could me included in the build process using grunt-svgmin, which internally uses SVGO.

Hello,

There is an issue with the flag wrapper, the .flag-icon class, if you want to add a border it is bigger than the flag itself, add a border is useful when you work with white background, they are many flag that have white parts or per example, Japan flag.

At the moment i solved it overridden .flag-icon with it:

// border on the flags
.flag-icon {
    border: 1px solid @gray-light;
    background-color: @gray-light;
    line-height: 0.9em;
    text-align: center;
}

it works on all the browsers but it is not a final solution, because like the unit it em, on medium screen the with doesn't match totally.

Hello! This is not an issue, just a question.

How I can make it work on Wordpress? I'm kinda new to all this, and I got lost really quickly when searching about .json packages.

I want to install this in my Wordpress to make it work on a plug-in (it's about hove on a image and making a flag appear, really simple). I don't know if it's possible.

Can you help me? Thank you so much!

The eu flag is missing

Can I add a flag for Scotland ? It doesn't have a top level code but does have a lower level GB-SCT

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you please fix the flag of El Salvador, so that the coat of arms is between the blue stripes, only on the white stripe? Currently it's overflowing on to the blue stripes. Also the blue is the wrong shade...

Here's how a USA flag should look: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg

But the proportions in this repo doesn't look right:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/master/flags/4x3/us.svg
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/master/flags/1x1/us.svg

TIA

Please compare these images:


The first one is from your project and the second one from Wikipedia.

Most if not all flags have strictly defined colors and at least some of the images used in your project seem to be wrong. According to Wikipedia, the flag of Sweden has #006AA7 for blue and #FECC00 for yellow. When compared to https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/blob/master/flags/1x1/se.svg with #003F73 and #FFCC00 respectively, the difference is very noticeable.

I haven't checked but other flag images might have the same problem.

Is there a way to use this icon on options in a select form list?

I don't know why, but for sure in my project with bootstrap 2.3.2 and using webkit browsers (Chrome and Safari) in Mac OS X (Yosemite) environment, the flags doesn't works, as they can't be draw. In the same environment, with Firefox all works fine.

Flags are often used as symbol for languages. What do you think about implementing ISO-639-1 for language flags?

For example:
flag-icon-lang-de would be the same as flag-icon-de, but flag-icon-lang-en would be the same as flag-icon-gb

my idea => width="85"

For the shake of minimalism I believe that the directories /css and /assets can be merged into one, after all the only source code is under /less

Hi, the Spain flag has some issues with the size of the elements.
Actual Spain flag in your project:

Thanks for your great work

Thanks for the great project :) We use it to display the user's country.

It would be great to have the earth flag in here http://www.iflscience.com/space/planet-earth-now-has-flag

We could use it as a default flag when the user doesn't specify any values.

Usage and Developement are understood, but it would be nice to have instructions on how to reference the assets :

<link href="...
<script...

The Belgian flag has the unusual proportions of 13:15, but is rarely seen. A flag in a 2:3 or similar ratio is used in most cases, even by most government bodies.

Is either proportion present?

Hello,

I have some problem when resizing the flag. It is ok with Chrome, but their is some problems with Firefox 37 or IE 11. By example:
http://asauvez.free.fr/OW/toto.html

It seem it may be corrected if the tag of the flags has an attribute viewBox="0 0 640 480" (for 4x3. For 1x1, viewBox="0 0 512 512"):

<svg viewBox="0 0 640 480" id="svg548" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="480" width="640" version="1" y="0" x="0" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

Thank for your time and continue the good work.

Can you please add in your bower.json :
"main": [
"./css/flag-icon.min.css"
],

so that the injection in index.html will work

Ca you also change the version in bower.json to the latest one, to avoid bower shouting.

Thanks for this package

I'm looking for a list of all the abbreviation with there unabbreviated country name beside it. Does a list like this exist.

Hi, here https://github.com/cfiorini/flag-icon-sass there is a ruby gem that include sass version of flag-icon-css, may be you add to readme ad related project
thanks

Hi,

I think, your lib would be more complete if you add the England flag
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/be/Flag_of_England.svg

thanks a lot !

I recently used this project within Advanced Custom Fields, allowing a client to choose a flag from a <select> box, which displays on the front end. I Pulled all the countries into the format that is needed for flag-icon-css to work.

The only thing that is needed is the country code to be lowercase, but easier to do when working within a project.

Hi,

The Malaysian flag have a wrong stripe and it look like different type of country flag.

Malaysian Flag

I will try to fix the SVG and try to make a PR

Any chance of adding Europe flag?

Hi!

Sigram use icons from this repository (sialan-labs/sigram#3 (comment) ), i detected the venezolan flag is wrong, actual the flag have 8 stars.

First of all, thanks for this helpful and useful project.

It would be great if it could be downloaded as Bower dependency.

Thanks
Nabil

Is it possible to add a fallback flag in case a country is not available in this package or rather unidentified trough the serverside?

Hi, it there any way you could add a flag for the European union?

Would be good to indicate/include the license of the flags SVG assets otherwise one may be mislead to believe that they are covered by The MIT License (MIT) of the project and copyright material and original work of Panayiotis Lipiridis. While credit is paid to https://github.com/koppi/iso-country-flags-svg-collection in the README, the link is actually dead.

https://github.com/koppi/iso-country-flags-svg-collection is mentioned in the Readme, but it's 404 (at least, publicly)

First of all thanks for this great library!

We need a better flag for PRC China. I will submit one if I can find a good & free SVG replacement.

Hi, i am implementing this code in my application, and my languages are: hr, en and it.
en stands for english and I want to show the gb or us flag, but I get none using en.

Could you make something to set a default flag for en so that I don't have to check in my code whether the language is en and then set us flag or gb flag.

In every application language is en, it does not make sense that you don't offer a default flag for en.

Current:

It appears that the British Virgin Islands are in there twice. ''vi.svg" should be the US Virgin Islands flag.

As of 2010 Kosovo has been assigned a temporary code XK. While the US are already using code KV, ISO have yet to assign them a permanent one.

This would be a great addition to my Symfony project, which makes use of Composer to handle the package dependencies.

Any option that this project can be required via Packagist.org ?

It would be nice to be able to install via NPM, currently it throws errors when I do npm install lipis/flag-icon-css :

Hello,

Are you looking to add IE8 support, as SVG and background image size are not supported?

It would be good to have some fallbacks for the older browsers.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement one, so had to use 'gulp-svg2png' to convert the files to PNGs. In fact upon doing this I noticed another issue that 2 or 3 of the images where missing the xml line from the top of the file, which caused the conversion to crash. Might be something you want to update the images with too.

Thanks

Hay lipis,
here is a list of flags which seems to look wrong:

Didn't found flag of European Union. Would love to have it in this wonderful package. Can we please add it ?
Ref- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Europe.svg

How can I add a new flag?
I tried to add to the css file a new flag-icon-empty and also a new "empty.svg" file but it doesn't work.

The Republic of Kosovo has as Alpha 2 Code xk. I cannot seem to find that icon or it may be that is just under a different country code, but according to Geo Names it should be xk.

Could you please verify that it's there or add it if it is not @lipis ? Great pack by the way 👍

The only suggestions I would have is if the icons could be a SVG sprite instead of individual files, that way if you have to use all the flags on the page you have less requests (1 over 250 +), but that is just me :)

I didn't find some flags:

zr - Zaire
yu - Yugoslavia
uk - United Kingdom
tp - East Timor

Thanks.

MF flag (mf.svg) just not be the same as SX, which is the dutch part of Saint Martin Island.
mf.svg should be the same as fr.svg

I notice that the version of this on jsDelivr is back at 0.6.0. It would also be wonderful to see this on cdnjs as some of your other work is.

Cheers :)
