What is IconJar?

IconJar is a desktop application that helps designers manage and organise icon libraries. Instead of hunting through folders or searching online repositories each time you need an icon, IconJar lets you store, categorise, and access icons from a single place. The tool integrates directly into Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD, so you can insert icons into your designs without leaving your design tool. You can upload your own icons, organise them into collections, adjust colours and sizes, and search by tags or name. This saves time when working on projects that use consistent icon sets.
