How do you get material design icons in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:41 pm

When creating icons for material design in Figma, you’ll want to use the icons provided in the Material Icons set. You can download the set from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

Once you have the set downloaded, you’ll need to import it into Figma.

To import the set, open Figma and select File > New > File from the main menu. In the dialog that opens, select Import from File and select the Material Icons set from your Downloads folder.

Click the Import button to import the set.

Once the set has been imported, you’ll need to select the icons that you want to use. To do this, select the Icons tab and select the icons that you want to use.

PRO TIP: There is no easy way to get Material Design icons into Figma. The best way to find and use these icons is to use a plugin or search for them online. Be careful when using these icons, as they may not be accurate or up-to-date.

You can select multiple icons by holding down the CTRL (Command) key while selecting them.

Once the icons have been selected, you’ll need to assign them to a filetype. To do this, select the File Types tab and select the icon filetype that you want to use.

The filetype will be assigned to the icon automatically.

Finally, you’ll need to add the icons to your designs. To do this, select the Designs tab and select the design that you want to use the icons in.

The icons will be added to the design automatically.
