Everything you need to make your icon designs shine.
Discover how you can craft and refine a set of icons for the web. Quickly build your skills as an icon designer with the endless capabilities of Adobe Illustrator.

Start from scratch.
Sketch on paper and scan your rough ideas into Adobe Illustrator. Or, sketch on your phone or iPad, then import your outlines.

Make it vector.
Create versatile vector shapes with the Ellipse and Rectangle tools. Turn on Smart Guides to help arrange your shapes or smooth out your freehand drawing with the Pen tool.

Easily create flat icons by stacking and combining vector shapes. Use the Shaper tool to polish the overall form and drag corner widgets to round sharp edges.

Add colour and depth.
Develop your own icon style. Apply a colour palette with Fill, adjust visual weight with Stroke or play with Opacity for your best icon yet.

Create it:
