Iconic — Icon Browser & Button Generator

Stop hunting for icons across a dozen websites. Iconic puts the four most popular open-source icon libraries — Google Material Symbols, Bootstrap Icons, Lucide, and Tabler Icons — directly inside the Unity Editor. Search, preview, customize, and export Sprite-ready PNGs in seconds. As a bonus, Iconic includes a fully procedural Button Generator for creating polished UI buttons with custom shapes, gradients, shadows, and complete state variants — usually a paid product on its own.

BUNDLED ICON PACKS

Iconic ships with the four most popular open-source icon libraries, all metadata pre-indexed for instant search. Style variants (outlined / filled / rounded — pack-dependent) are included where the source library provides them.

• Google Material Symbols — ~1,800 unique icons, ~7,400 with style variants (Apache 2.0). Outlined + filled + rounded weights, popularity-ranked.

• Bootstrap Icons — ~1,400 unique, ~2,100 with variants (MIT). Default + filled variants, broad UI coverage.

• Lucide — ~1,700 unique, ~1,700 total (ISC). Modern, consistent stroke design.

• Tabler Icons — ~5,000 unique, ~6,100 with variants (MIT). Outline + filled, the largest of the four.

Total: ~10,000 unique icons (~17,200 with style variants). All licenses are commercial-use friendly. Each pack's full LICENSE text is included in the package.

FIND ICONS FAST

• Inverted-index search delivers results as you type

• Scored matching — exact name, prefix, alias, tag, contains, tag-prefix, fuzzy

• Fuzzy match (Levenshtein ≤ 2) handles typos automatically

• Multi-word queries intersect — "arrow back" finds only icons matching both

• Tag, alias, and category search beyond just file names

• Pack & category filters narrow results instantly

• Virtualized grid — smooth scrolling through the entire 10,000-icon catalog

• Adjustable cell size (48–160 px) via slider or +/- keys

• Background search with cancellation — UI never freezes on large queries

CUSTOMIZE WITHOUT EXTERNAL TOOLS

• Foreground color with custom presets and a one-click invert

• Padding as percentage of canvas

• Rotation in 90° increments

• Flip horizontal, vertical, or both

• Style variant picker (outlined / filled / rounded — pack-dependent)

• Live preview updates instantly with every change

• Background color preview to check contrast against your UI

EXPORT THE RIGHT WAY

• Output: PNG with proper alpha

• Auto-applied TextureImporter preset: Sprite, Alpha is Transparency, no mip-maps, Bilinear, Uncompressed

• Batch export with cancellable progress bar — wraps AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing for fast reimport

• Export log keeps your last 500 exports in UserSettings/IconicExportLog.json

• Path validation — every export writes inside Assets/, never outside

ORGANIZE YOUR WORKFLOW

• Favorites — heart icons across sessions, persisted per-user

• Recent — auto-tracked, last 50 exports

• Collections — create named groups for project-specific icon sets, rename and delete in place

• Compare View — preview 2–4 icons side-by-side at 32 / 64 / 128 px

• Right-click context menu — Export, Favorite toggle, Add to Collection, Copy Name, Copy ID

• Drag & drop — drag icons from the grid; metadata available as DragAndDrop generic data for external tooling

• Window position persistence — Iconic remembers its size and screen position across Unity sessions

BONUS: BUTTON GENERATOR

Iconic includes a complete procedural button generator as a second editor window — usually a paid product on its own. Build production-ready UI buttons in minutes, then export as a single PNG or as a four-state set.

Shapes

Rectangle, Pill, Circle, Hexagon (with adjustable chamfer), Parallelogram (with adjustable skew). Per-corner radii (top-left / top-right / bottom-right / bottom-left independently) for asymmetric designs.

Fill styles

• Solid color

• Linear gradient with free-angle control (0–360°)

• Radial gradient

• Gradient stops A and B (0–100 %) for fine control over blend transitions

• Background layer under gradients, with one-click "to transparent" helper for soft fades

Effects

• Border — width, color, position (inside / center / outside)

• Outer shadow — color, offset X/Y, blur radius

• Inner shadow — color, offset X/Y, blur radius, spread

State variants

Auto-derived Normal / Hover / Pressed / Disabled with a 2×2 side-by-side preview. Tweak the brighten / darken / desaturate factors. Export all four states with one click — Iconic generates button_normal.png, button_hover.png, button_pressed.png, button_disabled.png.

Workflow polish

• Live preview with zoom 0.25× to 4× (mouse wheel + slider)

• Checkerboard background with custom background color

• Drag-from-label integer fields (the familiar Unity IMGUI pattern)

• Undo / Redo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y, 50 levels deep)

• Presets — save / load / delete named configurations across projects

• 9-slice export automation — set the corner radius once, sprite borders configured automatically for stretchable buttons

• Async rendering keeps the UI responsive even on complex compositions

• SDF anti-aliasing with 2×2 super-sampling at edges for crisp results at any size

WHY ICONIC?

For indie developers — skip the icon-hunting tax. Find the perfect icon, customize it, drop it in your scene in under thirty seconds.

For UI designers — preview, compare, and iterate without leaving Unity. Build a visual system in minutes with the Button Generator.

For studios — share project-wide color presets via VCS-committed ProjectSettings/. Curate per-project icon collections. Onboard new artists with a familiar, consistent workflow.

For prototyping — drag icons directly into your tools, generate buttons in any state, ship a UI proof-of-concept faster than ever.
