How Do I Add Material Design Icons to Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:54 pm

Maintaining a consistent design across all your platforms can be difficult, but Figma makes it easy with their built-in Material Design Icons. You can use these icons in your projects to create a cohesive look and feel, no matter where your project is viewed.

To add Material Design Icons to your Figma project, first select the ‘+’ button in the left sidebar. This will open the Add file window.

Select ‘Material Design Icons’ from the list of options. You will then be able to select which icons you would like to add to your project.

PRO TIP: This note is a warning to anyone considering adding Material Design Icons to their Figma account. While Material Design Icons may seem like a great way to add some extra flair to your Figma designs, they can actually cause more problems than they’re worth.

One of the biggest issues with using Material Design Icons in Figma is that they can often interfere with the existing icon set that Figma provides. This can lead to confusion and frustration when trying to use both sets of icons in the same design. Additionally, Material Design Icons are often much larger in size than the icons that come with Figma, which can make your designs look cluttered and busy.

Overall, we recommend avoiding Material Design Icons in Figma. If you’re looking for ways to add some extra flair to your designs, try using other icon sets or images instead.

Once you have selected the icons you want, click ‘Add to project’. The icons will be added to your project and will appear in the left sidebar. You can then drag and drop them into your design.

Figma’s Material Design Icons are a great way to keep your designs consistent across all platforms. With just a few clicks, you can add these icons to your project and create a cohesive look and feel.
