Iconscout Desktop App: Download, Features & Quick Setup Guide

Download

  • Visit the official Iconscout website and go to the Downloads or Apps section.
  • Choose your OS: Windows (installer or .exe), macOS (dmg), or Linux (AppImage/.deb).
  • Download and run the appropriate installer; follow on-screen prompts to install.

Key features

  • Offline access: Sync collections to work without an internet connection.
  • One-click insert: Drag-and-drop or copy assets directly into design tools.
  • Format support: SVG, PNG, Lottie, and icon/font packs.
  • Bulk download & export: Select multiple assets and export in desired sizes/formats.
  • Search & filters: Fast keyword search with category, license, color, and format filters.
  • Collections & tagging: Create, organize, and share asset collections.
  • Versioning & updates: Keep assets and app updated; some apps include auto-sync for newer assets.
  • Team collaboration: Shared libraries, permissions, and team asset management (if on a team plan).

Quick setup guide (assumes typical defaults)

  1. Install the app for your OS and launch it.
  2. Sign in with your Iconscout account (or create one if needed).
  3. Allow any required permissions (file access for drag/drop, network for sync).
  4. Set your default export settings (preferred formats and sizes) in Preferences.
  5. Sync or download a starter collection to enable offline use.
  6. Integrate with design tools: enable the app plugin/extension for Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch if prompted.
  7. Test insertion: search an asset, then drag into an open design file or use copy-paste.
  8. Create a collection and add tags to organize frequently used assets.
  9. Configure team settings or sharing links if collaborating.

Tips

  • Use SVG for scalable icons; export PNG at 2x/3x for raster needs.
  • Apply color filters to find monochrome or color-matched icons quickly.
  • Use collections for project-specific assets to keep designs consistent.
  • Regularly clear older local caches if disk space is limited.

Troubleshooting (common fixes)

  • App won’t launch: reinstall the latest installer and restart your system.
  • Assets not syncing: check network permissions and sign out/sign in again.
  • Plugin not detected by design tool: ensure the design tool is restarted and the correct plugin version is installed.
