Best Practices

Icon Set Management Tips

  1. Organize by Purpose: Create separate icon sets for different purposes (e.g., "Social Media Icons", "Navigation Icons", "Feature Icons")
  2. Use Consistent Icon Sets: Stick to one or two icon families for a cohesive design
  3. Verify Icon Names: Always check the preview to ensure you're using the correct icon name
  4. Start Small: Add only the icons you need rather than entire icon libraries
  5. Deactivate Instead of Delete: If you're not sure about removing an icon set, deactivate it instead

Important Notes

  • The prefix cannot be changed after creating an icon set. If you need a different prefix, create a new icon set.
  • Make sure to use the exact icon name as it appears in the Iconify library for the preview to work correctly.
  • Icons are rendered as SVG, providing perfect quality at any size.
