Icons for Figma
Figma treats SVG as a first-class citizen: paste one and it arrives as real vector nodes you can edit, componentize, and recolor. That makes an AI-generated icon set a native Figma resource — every icon lands as workable geometry, not a flattened image you have to trace over.
Generate the set in Icora, export SVGs, and drag them into a Figma frame — each icon becomes an editable vector layer ready to componentize. The productive pattern: one component per icon, sized on your grid with auto layout, color bound to a variable so the whole library re-themes per mode. Icora's companion Figma plugin can insert generated icons into the canvas directly, skipping the export-import round trip.
Figma workflow
| Import | Paste or drop SVG files — they arrive as editable vector networks, not rasterized images |
|---|---|
| Components | One component per icon on a 24×24 frame; swap via instance picker and organize with slash naming (icon/arrow-left) |
| Color | Bind fills to color variables so icons flip correctly between light and dark collections |
| Handoff | Engineers export straight from your components, or reuse the optimized SVGs from the original Icora export |

Frequently asked questions
Why do some imported SVGs break in Figma?+
Figma flattens some SVG features — filters, masks, and certain stroke effects — into unexpected shapes. Icons exported from Icora are plain paths without filter effects, which is exactly the subset Figma imports losslessly. If you edit icons elsewhere first, flatten effects before import.
Should icons in Figma be strokes or outlined paths?+
Keep strokes live while designing — you can retheme weight across the library — and outline at handoff if your pipeline needs fixed geometry. Since Icora exports both editable paths and optimized production SVGs, you can keep a working copy and a shipping copy.
