Free Icons Pack for Adobe XD

Add these icons to your digital designs to ensure the best digital experience in Adobe XD

When creating a product, such as a web page, digital designers often test their work. Before sharing the result with the end-user, you need to ensure that the browsing experience is intuitive and enjoyable. Icons play a major part in achieving this. Thanks to their symbology, they communicate better than words and make the user's journey more fun.

José Galeano (@josegaleano) specializes in designing interfaces of digital products. He has collaborated with brands such as Uber, Asus, and ROG. For him, Adobe XD is the most powerful tool on the market as it allows you to create animated prototypes and visualize the product with a very high degree of fidelity. However, when it comes to improving results, he adds some extra resources to the program, such as icons.

You can find icons of all different styles on various websites, and José Galeano shares his favorites with you in this download. A total of 749 icons for you to include in your projects and improve the final result.

What is UX and UI design?

You probably already know the difference between UX and UI. If not, or if you want to review some details, here’s your chance.

The acronyms stand for User Interface and User Experience and are directly linked to the use of an application or service.

Before embarking on the design of a product, such as an application or an interface, a pro like Galeano will ask themselves the questions: How can I make the experience easy and intuitive? How can I make the user feel confident that they can complete each task by interacting with the product?

Therefore, while UI designers take care of the interface design that the user will see, UX designers also oversee interaction.

User experience has become an increasingly important part of design and brings together designers, developers, and many other professionals creating web pages and digital products. Their common objective is to ensure that users are able to browse in a simple and intuitive way.

This explains why Adobe XD is such an important tool. It is the leading vector-based UX design software for web and apps and can be used to design and develop wireframe prototypes and layouts that can then be implemented and tested.
