What is Magicbox?

Magicbox is a innovative feature within the Openstrokeicons Figma plugin, designed to simplify icon placement in designs. By following a simple naming convention (#keyword) for frames in Figma, designers can easily select a frame and click the "Run The Magic" button in the plugin. This triggers Magicbox to automatically fetch and place the relevant SVG icon from the extensive library of 90,000+ icons. The magic lies in its efficiency, saving designers time and effort by eliminating manual searching and resizing. With Magicbox, designers can maintain consistency, explore diverse icon styles, and enhance productivity, making it an essential tool for Figma users looking to optimize their workflows.

How to Use Magicbox

Using Magicbox is as easy as 1-2-3:

Install the OpenStrokeIcons Figma plugin if you haven't already.

In your Figma design, create frames with names starting with '#' followed by a keyword related to the icon you want. For example, '#home', '#star', or '#profile'.

Select the frame where you want the icon to be placed and click the Run Magic button in the Openstrokeicons plugin.

Magicbox will then work its magic, automatically fetching the relevant icon from our extensive library of 90,000+ SVG icons and placing it within the selected frame, perfectly sized and positioned.
