Icon Packs
Iconize comes with some predefined icon packs. However, you can also add your own icon packs. This section of the documentation will show you how to do that, but also how to use the predefined icon packs and emojis.
Predefined Icon Packs
To use a predefined icon pack, you can go to the settings of the plugin and select Browse icon packs and then select the icon pack you want to use. So that the following modal will open:
After you have selected the icon pack you want to use, it will download the icon pack and then you can use it in your vault.
Currently, Iconize supports the following predefined icon packs:
- Font Awesome
- Remix Icons
- Icon Brew
- Simple Icons
- Lucide Icons
- Tabler Icons
- BoxIcons
- RPG Awesome
- coolicons
- Feather Icons

Custom Icon Packs
NOTE
This feature is currently not 100% available and stable. If you want to use it, you can do that, but it might be that some things are not working as expected. Furthermore, there might be some breaking changes in the future.
If you want to add your own icon pack, you can do that by using the option Add icon pack in the plugin settings of Iconize. You just need to enter the name of the icon pack. After that, you can add the icons you want to use in your vault by using the plus icon (+) next to the custom icon pack.
After you have added the icon pack, you need to zip your custom icon pack by going to the plugins folder of Obsidian. You can find the plugins folder by going to the settings of Obsidian and then clicking on Open plugins folder. After that, you need to go to the folder obsidian-iconize and then to the folder icons. In this folder, you can zip your custom icon pack. The zip file needs to have the same name as the icon pack you have entered in the settings of Iconize.
NOTE
The creation of a zip file needs to be currently done manually. In the future, this will be automatically done by Iconize. See this issue for more information.
Using Emojis
If you want to use emojis in your vault, you can do that by using the built-in functionality of Iconize. You can directly use emojis in the icon picker by searching for them. You can search for emojis by using the name of the emoji or by using the emoji itself.
Furthermore, you can also adapt the style of the emoji by choosing the emoji style in the settings of Iconize. You can choose between Native and Twemoji.
