Which file should I download?

SVG

Framer turns pasted SVG into a graphic layer that stays sharp at every size. You can also drag an .svg file onto the canvas.

Step by step

  1. Copy the icon

    Open the library, click an icon, choose a colour and press Copy SVG.

  2. Paste it into Framer

    Select the frame or section you want and press Ctrl+V (⌘+V on Mac).

  3. Change the colour

    Select the icon and look for its colour in the right panel. If you can’t change it there, copy the icon again in the colour you want.

  4. Resize and publish

    Drag a corner or type a width and height in the right panel. It stays sharp on every screen.

How to change the colour

Pick the colour in the library before you copy, or change it in Framer’s right panel when the option is there.

How to resize it

Drag a corner, or set width and height in the right panel. Keep them equal so the icon isn’t squashed.

Something not working?

Nothing happens when I paste.

Make sure you clicked Copy SVG (not Download), and that the Framer canvas is focused.

The icon looks squashed.

Set the same value for width and height.
