FAQ
Can I use the icons for free?
Yes. The icons come from free, open-licence icon sets, and every plan can use them. See Icon licences at the bottom of the Icons section for the details.
Which icon sets are included?
Hundreds of free icon sets, together with Play’s own icons. Among them: Material Symbols, Material Design Icons, Lucide, Tabler, Phosphor, Remix Icon, Bootstrap Icons, Heroicons, Ionicons, Carbon, Iconoir, Fluent UI System Icons, Boxicons, MingCute, Huge Icons, IconPark, Line Awesome, Unicons, SVG Logos, Flagpack, Circle Flags, and the Noto and Fluent emoji.
Are there brand logos and flags?
Yes. Search for the brand or the country in English, like “visa”, “instagram” or “norway”. Logos and flags keep their own colors; you find them under All and Multicolour.
My search finds no icons. What do I do?
Icon names are in English, so try the English word, or a simpler one: “cup” instead of “coffee mug”. The search corrects small typos and common words in other languages by itself.
Can I switch an icon between outline and filled?
No. Some icon sets are outline and some are filled, so search for the style you want and pick that icon.
Can I use my own icons?
Yes. Upload your own SVG file under Uploads, like any picture. Icons you add from the icon list are also saved there as SVG files.
How do I match the color of my icon to something on the slide?
Click Icon colour and pick the color, or type its color code so it matches exactly.
Can I lock the position of an icon?
Yes. A locked element stays where it is and can’t be resized or removed. Read more about locking objects.
