An icon library is a collection of icons that can be used in your designs. It can be a great way to save time and increase the consistency of your designs.

There are a few things you need to do to create an icon library in Figma.

First, you need to create a folder in your project called “icons.” Next, you need to create a folder inside of the “icons” folder for each icon type you want to include.

For example, if you want to create an icon library for web applications, you would create a folder called “webapps” and put all of your web application icons in that folder.

Next, you need to create a file called “index.html” inside of the “icons” folder.

This file will hold all of the information about the icons in your library. You will need to include the following information in this file:

1. The path to the folder containing the icons

2. The path to the file containing the icon images

3. The width and height of the icon image

4. The URL to the icon font file

5. The URL to the icon image file

6. The icon type (webapp, icon, etc.)

7. The title of the icon

8. The icon’s alt text

9. The icon’s class name

10. The icon’s border width

11. The icon’s border color

12. The icon’s shadow color

13. The icon’s shadow depth

14. The icon’s fill color

15. The icon’s line width

16. The icon’s line color

17. The icon’s text shadow color

18. The icon’s text shadow depth

19. The icon’s text shadow offset

20. The icon’s font size

21. The icon’s font family

22. The icon’s font weight

23. The icon’s font style

24. The icon’s icon color

25. The icon’s disabled state

26. The icon’s hover state

27. The icon’s active state

28. The icon’s cursor type

29. The icon’s cursor color

30. The icon’s opacity

31. The icon’s transform property

32. The icon’s rotation property

33. The icon’s scale property

34. The icon’s skew property

35. The icon’s position property

36. The icon’s visibility property

37. The icon’s top property

38. The icon’s left property

39. The icon’s bottom property

40. The icon’s width property

41. The icon’s height property

42. The icon’s z-index

Next, you need to create a file called “style.css” inside of the “icons” folder.

PRO TIP: When creating an icon library in Figma, be sure to use vector shapes. This will ensure that your icons look sharp and clear at any size.

This file will hold all of the styling information for the icons in your library. The path to the file containing the icon styles
