Zapicon

An icon library with search, categories, and downloads that stay quick past thousands of assets.

@zapicon

An icon library is a search problem before it is a design problem. The site was built so finding one icon among thousands takes a moment, and getting it into a project takes one action more.

01
Make search primary

Put search first, updating results as you type, with synonyms for the words people actually use.
02
Categorise usefully

Built categories around how designers look for icons rather than around alphabetical order.
03
Download without friction

Made copying or downloading an asset a single action, in the format the user needs.
