How Do I Add Icons to Figma Page?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 11:31 am

Adding icons to your Figma page is a great way to add some extra flair and personality to your design. Icons can help to break up the text on a page, and can also be used to visually represent ideas or concepts.

There are two main ways to add icons to your Figma page:

1. Use an icon font
2. Use an image file

Icon fonts are a popular choice for adding icons to web pages. They are easy to use, and you can find many free icon fonts online.

To use an icon font, you first need to include the font file on your web page. You can then use the font-family property in CSS to specify which font you want to use. Here’s an example:

< style >
.icon {
font-family: ‘Material Icons’;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
line-height: 1; /* preserve vertical alignment */
text-transform: none; /* Prevent inheritance of text transform */

/* Enable Ligatures */
letter-spacing: 0; /* fix issues with IE */

/* Use the “material” icon class anywhere in your HTML code. Remember that class names are case sensitive! */

< /style >

The other option for adding icons to your Figma page is to use image files. This is a good option if you want more control over the appearance of your icons, or if you want to use icons that are not available as icon fonts.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, adding icons to your Figma page can result in an cluttered and unorganized look. Make sure to only add icons that are relevant and add value to your design. Too many icons can make your design look busy and can be distracting to users.

To use image files, you first need to upload them to a web server. You can then use the tag in HTML to insert them into your web page.

You can style the appearance of your icons using CSS properties such as width, height, and border. You can also use CSS3 features such as background gradients and rounded corners on images. If you want more control over the appearance of your icons, or if you want to use icons that are not available as icon fonts, using image files is a good option.
