How Do I Add an Icon Library to Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:33 pm

Adding an icon library to Figma is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. First, open up the Figma file that you want to add the icon library to. Then, click on the “Libraries” tab in the left sidebar. Next, click on the “Create New Library” button.

A pop-up window will appear. In this window, you will need to give your library a name and select a file type. You can then click on the “Create” button to create your library.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when adding an icon library to Figma, you may end up with duplicates of your icons. Be sure to check the “Use as default library” option when adding your library, or you may end up with two copies of your icons!

Once your library has been created, you can then add icons to it by clicking on the “Add Icons” button. A pop-up window will appear that will allow you to search for and select icons from a variety of different icon libraries. Once you have selected the icons that you want to add, you can then click on the “Add” button to add them to your library.

You can then use these icons in your Figma designs by clicking on the “insert” button when you have an object selected. A pop-up window will appear that will allow you to select an icon from your library to insert into your design.
