How To Use Plugins In Figma For Icons
Hi, everyone in this video, we're going to look at some of the secret sauce. What makes fig a amazing. And it is the plugins that are run in parallel with fig A. So plugins are made by other people, not fig A. Ok. And basically you install them. Ok. And in this case, I've installed a little icon plug in and let's say we search for a house. I can grab my icon and just drag it out. So it is a way of he's a bit teeny tiny there. But you get the idea. This is a way of extending fig A. There are lots of plugins and they are amazing. We'll focus on the icon one at the moment, but they all work roughly the same sort of way they extend what fig A can do. Let's jump in and look at at least one of them. So to install our first plug in. If you go to uh this little drop down next to the fig M icon, you can go to plugins and we're going to browse them in the community. Ok. Manage, just will be able to see the ones you've already got installed. And maybe uninstall them. We're going to go to browse i...
n the community often. I don't use this method. I just go to this home screen. OK. And remember under community, we were looking at icons a second ago, there's another option here, it says plugins. So this is kind of new and always getting developed. What I'd like you to do is plugins are just so an amazing part of fig A that just spend like take a break, take uh you know, take five minutes and just have a read through all the amazing plugins. OK? Um There's just so much in here that can get you so far and kind of enable you to be fast and efficient and like visually, really compelling. OK? So have a look through all the different plugins. We're going to look at icons for the moment. What you need to do is, well, the way that I use to gauge whether this plug in is good is mainly bound to install. There's no like star rating yet, which I wish there was, but like UNL which is a way of getting kind of commercial free images is a really cool plug in really common. Probably the first one everybody installs. We'll do it later in the course, but you can see 6600 and 30, other UX designers decided it was useful. So there must be some in here. We're going to use icon. OK? Uh If this one is not in here or hasn't been updated for the last three years. Ok. You'll find another version that will work similar. This video is not actually how to use icon but just like how to install a plug in and get it working. So we're going to click install. Yes, please remember. These aren't made by fig A so no responsibility taken. Ok. And let's go and have a look now how to actually operate a plug in. We'll do a few through this course. So let's have a look. So you have to turn the plug on, plug in on. You can only have one running at a time. So you got to say I want plug in called icon. I to start working. Now this is where they all vary. Most of them have some sort of U I, they all look different. None of them look the same. This one here, it's big. I put mine on the other screen but I'm just gonna move it over here. Let's have a look. So let's have a look at that shopping one we're looking for. Maybe let's got another house, maybe that house was broken, it was hard to change shit. So in here let's have a look at the houses. Is that gonna be a stroke? None of them are gonna be strokes. I bet you maybe that guy might, maybe that guy will be probably not. I'm gonna use this one fingers crossed. So you can just click and drag them out. Look at that. We got a giant SVG icon and really that's it. That is that plug in. You can just drag stuff out. You obviously there's other options in here. OK? You can search icons and there's lots of tagging and stuff going on. So, plugins all work a similar sort of way. There's some sort of U I and you'll be able to click and drag things out. We'll do a few more throughout the course. But yeah, that is the plug in specifically for icons. I don't need this guy. Now, someone's gonna delete him. Now, when you are deleting bits and pieces, it's probably cos you're always gonna be left with a frame. So try not to like you can, you can just delete it, you know, with this frame, it's best to go into your actual layers and say that's it. I'm going to hit delete and everything inside of it and then just make sure your layers are kept nice and tidy. The thing is that what are you doing down there? I have no idea how I got that one. Anyway. Keep it clean. Select that guy too. All right. That is, yeah. A really simple plug in plugins are amazing in fig M we're going to learn a few more throughout the course. Let's get into the next video.
