Basic introduction

Icons, this frequently appearing design element, in addition to mastering good skills and using AI, PS, PPT, and various professional software to draw, directly collect materials, stock up, and organize them into an icon material library for use. It is also the only way to achieve efficient design. When you need an icon, open it, search according to the image, find it, and drag it directly into the design draft to use it. Once it's suitable, continue designing without worrying about the software. It will lie peacefully in the background, not disturbing the subsequent design work and not competing for it.

After installation, open Icon8. It will exist in the form of a tray and run silently in the background. Therefore, after you double-click it for the first time to open it, you can't even see it and there will be no changes on the computer. Because, it will be hidden in the folded icon on the taskbar. Take a look at the animation below to see it clearly.

△ I really like the mode hidden in the taskbar.

Through the above demonstration animation, you can clearly see that the workspace layout of this artifact is also very intuitive, and there is basically zero learning cost.

1) On the far left is the ICON category directory. Above are component sets of several major categories, including several mainstream systems such as ios, win10, Android, Material, etc. Below is a more detailed category directory according to the meaning of the icons. Super detailed and rich categories to meet the needs of our various design scenarios.

2) The top bar on the top side displays a search box, which makes it easy to search for icons directly by keyword, and then to the right is the icon format, size, color panel button, setting button, and close button (not really close, but a hidden return button) task bar)

3) The largest area is the icon preview area. You can see that there are many icons in the "color" category. It feels like it has been dragging for a long time without bottoming out, which is very refreshing.

2. Multiple software supports drag-and-play

I can’t wait to introduce this advantage of Icon8. Its support for PS, AI, PPT and other software is so good that I have no choice. The most important thing is convenience, convenience, convenience! Say useful things three times. Then, directly upload the screenshots for everyone to experience:

1) First look at the combination of Icon8+PS

To put it simply, no matter which software we use and need an icon, the operation flow is to open Icon8, select the icon (including setting its format, color and size, etc., which will be discussed in detail later), and then drag it directly to Current software will do. Let’s take PS as an example first, look at the animation below:

Just drag and drop to use! ! !

The above animation has told us that we can just use the left mouse button to click on the icon on Icon8 and drag it into PS. Moreover, whether you choose the png image format or the svg vector format, drag it into PS and it will automatically become a smart object. Well, smart objects are great!

2) Let’s look at the combination of Icon8+Ai

Since Icon8 has set the existence of vector format icons, it must have its meaning, otherwise it would be just fine if they are all in bitmap format such as png. Well, yes, its opinion is that vectors in Ai are vectors, and they exist in layers, which facilitates further DIY adjustments. It couldn't be better.

The SVG format is still layered when dragged into Ai, which is great! ! !

After carefully reading the small animation display above, it is not difficult to find that after selecting the svg format icon and dragging it into ai, it will open as a new document, and its icons are layered, layered, layered, and importantly I have to say the advantages three times before I feel satisfied. It’s so convenient. How can it be so good! ! ! ! !

3) Let’s look at the combination of Icon8+PPT

Of course, compared to PS and Ai, there may be more friends who use PPT, so how about the combination of Icon8 and PPT? Or just look at the animation display first and feel it:

After dragging the EPS format into PPT, something wonderful happened! ! !

Just like PS and Ai, when we drag the icon in png format to PPT, of course it is still a picture for us to use. The EPS format that exists in Icon8 is amazing. As shown in the above animation, we select an EPS icon, well, let’s just say Trump. After dragging it to the PPT, right-click the icon and select "Group > Ungroup". In the pop-up In the dialog box, click OK, and then select "Ungroup" once. At this time, all the layers of this icon will appear. After that, we can change it according to our needs or mood, change the color of the clothes, and give the skin Change the color and it will be so easy, wow kaka.

PS: In addition to dragging directly to other software, of course it also supports copy and paste. Just select the icon, right-click, and select as needed, as shown in the figure below:

There is also a thoughtful function to find similar ones, which is awesome!
