Download ShiftWhat is Flaticon?
Flaticon is a large library of icons and stickers for designers, developers, marketers, and content creators. It offers more than 18 million visual assets that can be searched, customized, organized into collections, and downloaded for use in websites, apps, presentations, marketing materials, and other creative projects.
Assets are available in formats including PNG, SVG, EPS, PSD, and BASE64, depending on your plan. Flaticon also includes a browser-based editor for adjusting icon colors and sizes, collection tools for organizing assets, and a Figma plugin that lets designers search for and import Flaticon icons directly into their projects.
For developers, Flaticon offers UIcons that can be added to web projects through downloads, npm, or a CDN. Free Flaticon resources generally require attribution, while Premium plans remove attribution requirements and provide access to additional formats and downloads.
How Flaticon works in Shift
Adding Flaticon to Shift keeps your icon library alongside the other tools involved in your creative workflow. Add Flaticon to a dedicated Space with your design software, project-management tools, cloud storage, CMS, or other creative apps so you can find assets without searching through unrelated browser tabs.
If you use Flaticon across different projects or accounts, Shift helps keep those workflows organized into separate Spaces. For example, you can group Flaticon with Figma and your project-management tools for design work, or keep it alongside your CMS and marketing apps when creating content.
Keeping Flaticon and your other creative tools together in Shift makes it easier to move between searching for icons, reviewing designs, and adding assets to active projects.
