Figma Icon Exporter — Overview

Figma Icon Exporter streamlines the way teams export, organize, and ship icons from Figma.

• Two export modes

  • Local ZIP: Get a clean, structured archive of optimized SVGs.
  • Repo Sync: Push to GitHub or GitLab — the plugin creates a branch, commits SVGs, and opens a PR/MR for review.

• Why it’s great for teams

  • Predictable paths (driven by your slice names).
  • Least-privilege tokens (GitHub fine-grained; GitLab api scope).
  • No manual handoff—design and dev meet in the PR/MR.

TL;DR

Scan → Review the list → Export (ZIP or Repo). Voilà.

Key Features

• Optimized SVG output built for production.
• Auto-branch + PR/MR so code review is part of the flow.
• Multi-provider support (GitHub + GitLab).
• Transparent trial & licensing (free quotas + 14-day unlimited trial; license removes limits).

Concepts

• Slices define paths: Name a slice like icons/solid/ai/ai-chat → the plugin writes to icons/solid/ai/ai-chat.svg.
• Styles via instances: Keep Solid/Outline (or your variants) as separate instances for easy switching.
• Consistent naming: lowercase, hyphen-separated file names; short, readable folder segments.
