Icons can help you improve website usability and engagement, no matter what industry you work in. They offer a visually appealing and intuitive way to communicate information to website visitors.
For instance, on an e-commerce site, icons can represent product categories, making navigation intuitive and facilitating quicker decision-making for shoppers. In the travel industry, icons can depict various amenities and services offered by hotels or tour operators, helping users make informed choices. Similarly, for restaurant sites icons can represent different menu categories (e.g., appetizers, main courses, desserts), dietary options (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free), and dining features (e.g., outdoor seating, Wi-Fi).
Accessing the premium icon library
If you are a free or Bronze user who wants to access the premium icon library, you need to upgrade to the Silver or Gold plan.
There are a couple of ways to do this. You can either click the red Upgrade button in the Icon libraries Premium tab or click Upgrade on the Topbar. Both of them lead to the pricing page, where you can choose the subscription you need and go to the checkout.
Using Premium library
In the pre-designed layouts of your blocks, you will find a number of carefully selected icons that fit the overall design of the site. However, if you prefer to create a unique look for your site, you can easily change those icons to match your vision.
All you have to do is click the icon to call out its controls and then click the smiley face icon.
There are two tabs in the Icon libraries: Premium and Free.
The free one has more than 3000 static icons available for all our users.
The premium one has more than 1.2 million icons that include static and animated options for any style.
You can use the search and the filters in the library to find the icon you need faster. Here’s the video of the process.
Note: The color of static single-color icons adjusts automatically to your site’s color palette, which you can customize. The multicolored and animated icons do not adapt to your color palette.
