When it comes to creating icons in Figma, there are a few things you need to know. First, you need to understand the basics of how Figma works.

Then, you need to decide what style of icon you want to create. Finally, you need to follow a few simple steps to create your icon.

Figma is a vector-based design tool that is used by designers to create icons, illustrations, and interface designs. Vector-based design tools allow designers to create designs that can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This makes Figma an ideal tool for creating icons.

When it comes to creating icons in Figma, there are two main styles: line icons and filled icons. Line icons are created using strokes, while filled icons are created using solid shapes. Each style has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the right style for your project.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Figma, we recommend that you do not attempt to make an icon in Figma. Making an icon in Figma requires a level of understanding of the software that most people do not have. If you are not careful, you could end up damaging your icon or worse, your computer.

Creating a line icon in Figma is relatively simple. First, you need to create a new frame with the desired dimensions.

Then, you need to add a stroke to the frame. You can do this by selecting the “Stroke” tool from the toolbar and then clicking on the frame. Finally, you need to add the desired details to the icon using the “Pen” tool.

Creating a filled icon in Figma is slightly more complicated than creating a line icon.

Then, you need to add a solid color fill to the frame by selecting the “Fill” tool from the toolbar and then clicking on the frame. Next, you need to add details to the icon using the “Pen” tool. Finally, you need to add a stroke around the edge of the icon using the “Stroke” tool.

Once you’ve created your icon, you can then save it as a PNG or SVG file by selecting “File > Export > PNG/SVG.”
