What is Icon Mason?
Icon Mason is a powerful Adobe Illustrator extension that streamlines the management of IconJar files directly within the design environment. Compatible with both Windows and Mac OS, it eliminates the need for a separate desktop app. Users can open existing IconJar archives, browse and search icons using fuzzy search by file name and tags, and drag-and-drop icons seamlessly into their projects. The extension also allows users to add, edit, or replace icons within IconJar files, import icons to individual artboards for efficient editing, and export artboards to the IconJar format. Icon Mason includes 330 free icons from Round Icons and Diversity Avatars, providing a head start for designers.
