Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert icons into your Figma design using Iconify.

Quick summary

Adding icons in Figma is done through the Iconify plugin, which lets designers browse thousands of icon categories and import icons directly onto the design canvas as a frame or component. This six-step process takes under a minute and works entirely within the Figma interface.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the bottom section of your design canvas and click 'Actions'.
  2. Search for 'Iconify' in the search bar and select it from the suggested results.
  3. Browse the plugin and choose the icon category that contains the icon you want to add.
  4. Review the available options and click the icon you prefer to use.
  5. Set your preferred Size and Color, then click 'Import as Frame' or 'Import as Component'.
  6. The selected icon is now added as a frame or component to your Figma design canvas.

📌 Why this matters

Adding icons efficiently is a core part of any UI design workflow, and Figma's integration with the Iconify plugin gives designers instant access to thousands of open-source icons without ever leaving the canvas. Being able to import icons directly as a frame or component ensures they slot seamlessly into existing design systems and remain fully editable. This workflow eliminates the need to source, export, and manually import icon assets from external tools, saving significant time on every project. For teams building scalable, consistent interfaces in Figma, mastering icon insertion is a foundational productivity skill.
