Are there icons in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:26 pm

An icon is a small, usually square, image that appears in the status bar at the bottom of the Illustrator window and in the Toolbar. Icons are used to indicate which tools or commands are available for use.

Icons are also used to identify objects. For example, the icon for the Move tool is a cross with a small arrow coming out of it.

When you select the Move tool, the cross icon appears in the status bar.

PRO TIP: There are no icons in Illustrator.

You can create your own icons by using the Icon Editor. To open the Icon Editor, choose File > New > Icon.

In the Icon Editor, you can create, rename, and delete icons.

To use an icon, select it from the Toolbar or the status bar and click the icon.
