Can you make icons in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:43 pm

In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to create icons in Figma. Icon design is one of the most important aspects of any app or website.

It can help users quickly identify your app or site, and can even help you attract new users.

First, you will need to create a basic icon. In Figma, this can be done by creating a file in the icon section of your project.

You will need to provide a filename, a size (in pixels), and a color. You can also provide a background color, but this is not necessary.

Next, you will need to create a design. This can be done in any vector editor, such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape.

PRO TIP: When creating icons in Figma, it is important to note that you cannot create them using the same methods as you would for other vector objects. This is because icons need to be created at a specific size and with specific settings in order to function properly. If you try to create an icon using the wrong methods, it will likely not work as intended.

You will need to create a basic icon design, with the filename, size, and color of the icon included.

You will then need to export your design as a Figma file. You can do this by clicking on the File tab in Figma, and then selecting Export.

In the Export dialog box, you will need to select the File Format option, and then select the Figma file format. You will then need to provide a filename and a location.

Finally, you will need to import your Figma file into your project. You can do this by clicking on the File tab in Figma, and then selecting Import.

In the Import dialog box, you will need to select the file from where you exported it, and then provide a location.
