About Icon Library 2

Icon Library 2 provides a panel that places more than 86,000 icons and emojis from major open‑source libraries directly inside After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop. All assets are searchable, colorable, and are inserted as native shape layers that remain fully editable. Version 2 introduces emoji browsing, new icon collections (Framework7, Health Icons, Hero Icons, IconPark, Ionicons, Lucide, MingCute, Themify, Typicons) and several emoji sets (Circle Flags, Flag Icons, EmojiOne, Fluent UI Emoji, FxEmoji, Noto Emoji, OpenMoji, Twemoji). The UI uses a two‑column layout and includes favorites, recents, a responsive design, and an updated color picker with recent swatches. Users can drag‑and‑drop custom SVGs, import multiple icons in an automatic grid, or use a random picker. A UXP version is available for Photoshop, and After Effects 2026 and newer support native SVG processing and gradient handling.
