Sits in the aescripts library as a broad icon and emoji browser, with Version 2 widening its scope through added emoji libraries, a redesigned two-column UI, and UXP support for Photoshop.
Icon Library 2 brings over 86,000 icons and emojis from top open source libraries directly inside your Adobe apps. Every icon is searchable and colorable, and inserts as a native, fully editable shape layer in a single click.
Version 2 adds emoji support, letting you browse and insert emojis as native shape layers, and introduces new icon libraries such as Framework7, Health Icons, Hero Icons, IconPark, Ionicons, Lucide, MingCute Icon, Themify Icons and Typicons, plus emoji libraries including Circle Flags, Flag Icons, EmojiOne, Fluent UI Emoji, FxEmoji, Noto Emoji, OpenMoji and Twemoji. The release also brings a redesigned two-column UI and a UXP version for Photoshop.
The panel includes favorites and recents, a responsive layout, and an updated color picker with recent swatches. Right-click any icon to see its name, tags, repo and license. You can drag and drop custom SVGs into the panel, import multiple icons in an automatic grid, or use the random picker to pull icons from the currently loaded set. After Effects 2026 and newer add native SVG processing and gradient support.
Icon Library 2 is best for after Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop users who want to search and insert open source icons and emojis as native, editable shape layers.
Icon Library 2 is completely free to download and use.
