IconDock earns its place in the aescripts library by keeping icon search and import inside After Effects, with PNG, SVG, and Shape Layer output and color control before import.
IconDock adds icon search and import to After Effects, giving access to hundreds of thousands of icons from inside the application. It removes the need for browser tabs and manual downloads, keeping the process within After Effects.
Icons can be imported as PNG, SVG, or Shape Layer, and their colors can be customized before importing. The workflow is fast and lightweight, and the plugin is designed specifically for motion designers and video editors working on projects like motion design, UI animations, explainer videos, social media content, infographics, corporate videos, and YouTube content.
IconDock supports After Effects 2020 through 2026. Version 1.02.1 was released on June 6, 2026, with a hotfix for a fly-out menu that would not close. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
