Why icon padding matters more than logo padding

01

Inconsistent padding is why sets look wrong

Icons pulled from different sources carry different amounts of built-in margin. Rendered at the same box size, one looks large and the next looks small — not because the glyphs differ but because their padding does. Trimming them all to their own bounds is what makes a mixed set look designed.

02

Trim, then set the padding once

Strip every icon to its glyph, then apply one consistent clear space across the whole set. That is the only way to get optical consistency, and it is much easier to reason about than adjusting each icon against the others.

03

Trimming changes the aspect ratio

A tightly trimmed icon is no longer square, because most glyphs are not. If the destination expects a square, square it back up afterwards rather than relying on the original padding to do it.

04

Not for app icons

App and launcher icons are specified with a required safe area — the padding is part of the spec, not an accident. Trim interface icons, not the ones you submit to a store.

05

Alpha preserved

The glyph comes back with its transparency intact, ready to drop into an interface at whatever size you need.

Building a consistent icon set

Trim all, then pad all

Optical consistency comes from applying one padding value to a set of tightly trimmed glyphs — never from adjusting icons against each other.

Leave store icons alone

App store and launcher icons have a specified safe area. That padding is required, not accidental.

Expect a rectangle

A trimmed glyph is only square if the glyph was. Square it back afterwards if the slot demands it.

How to remove the space around an icon

1

Upload the icon

A transparent PNG export.

2

Trim to the glyph

The default removes fully transparent margin. Adjust the tolerance for a soft-edged glyph.

Where a tight icon is required

Normalising a mixed set

Make icons from different sources render at the same optical size.

Interface icons

Strip built-in padding so your own spacing rules apply.

Button and toolbar glyphs

Get consistent alignment inside a fixed control.

Icon font preparation

Give every glyph a tight bounding box before packaging.

What people use it for

The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.

Colourways you can revisit

Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.

Cutouts with awkward edges

AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.

No export, edit, re-import loop

The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.

Ten options in the time one used to take

Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.

Brand colours matched exactly

Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.

Free to preview, priced per export

Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
