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