Where to find and insert icons in Systeme.io

Systeme.io includes a built-in icon library you can add to pages, emails, and landing pages without leaving the editor. To insert an icon, click the icon button in your editor toolbar — it looks like a small square with symbols inside — then search for the icon you want by name or browse categories like arrows, social media, or checkmarks. Once you select an icon, it appears on your page at a default size and color, which you can then adjust.

The icon library contains several hundred options covering common needs: social media logos, directional arrows, checkmarks and X marks, payment methods, and business symbols. You do not need to upload files or link to external icon services. The icons are part of Systeme.io's design system, so they load as part of your page.

Icons work the same way across different page types. Whether you are building a sales page, a thank-you page, an email sequence, or a form, the process of adding and styling them remains consistent.

Key Takeaways

  • Click the icon button in the editor toolbar, search or browse by category, and select the icon you want to add to your page.
  • After inserting an icon, you can change its size, color, and alignment using the properties panel on the right side of the editor.
  • Icons in Systeme.io are vector-based and scale cleanly at any size without losing quality.
  • You can stack multiple icons in rows or columns by placing them inside text blocks or using the layout tools.

Resizing and coloring icons after you add them

Once an icon is on your page, click it to select it. A properties panel appears on the right side of the editor showing size, color, and alignment options. The size field shows the current dimension in pixels — you can type a new number or use the up and down arrows to adjust it. Icons scale proportionally, so changing the width automatically adjusts the height.

To change the icon color, click the color swatch in the properties panel. A color picker opens where you can select from a palette, enter a hex code, or use the eyedropper to match a color elsewhere on your page. Most icons work well in any color, though you may want to may support contrast if the icon sits on a colored background.

Alignment options let you position the icon left, center, or right within its container. You can also adjust the spacing around the icon by adding margin or padding values if the properties panel includes those fields.

Using icons in lists and feature sections

A common use is placing an icon next to text to highlight a feature or benefit. To do this, add a text block and type your feature name, then add an icon on the same line or just before it. You may need to adjust spacing between the icon and text by adding a small margin to one or both elements.

For a vertical list of features, add multiple text blocks stacked below each other, each with its own icon. This creates a clean checklist or feature list without needing a table. You can make all the icons the same size and color for consistency, or vary them if your design calls for it.

Some builders let you group an icon and text together as a single unit so they move together if you edit the page later. Check whether Systeme.io's editor offers a group or container option for this purpose.

Adding icons to buttons and call-to-action elements

You can place an icon inside a button to make it more visually interesting. Some button editors in Systeme.io let you add an icon directly within the button settings. If not, you can position an icon very close to a button text and adjust spacing to make them appear as one element.

Common uses include a play icon on a video button, a read icon on a file button, or an arrow icon on a "Next" or "Learn More" button. Keep the icon small relative to the button so the text remains readable and the button does not become cluttered.

Test how the button looks on mobile devices, since small icons can become hard to see on narrow screens. You may need to increase the icon size slightly for mobile or remove it entirely on smaller viewports if your page builder offers responsive design options.

Organizing multiple icons in rows

If you want to display several icons side by side — for example, social media links or payment method logos — use a row or columns layout. In Systeme.io, you can usually add a section with multiple columns, then place one icon in each column. This keeps them aligned and responsive.

Set all icons to the same size so they look intentional rather than random. A common size for social media icons in a footer or header is 24 to 32 pixels. For larger icon displays, like on a features section, 48 to 64 pixels is typical.

If you are displaying payment method icons, arrange them in the order your customers are most likely to use them, or in the order they appear on your payment processor. This helps visitors quickly find their preferred method.

Limitations and when to use external icon libraries

Systeme.io's built-in library covers most common needs, but it is not exhaustive. If you need a very specific icon — a custom logo, an industry-specific symbol, or a branded mark — you may need to upload an image file instead. In that case, use a PNG or SVG file with a transparent background so it blends with your page design.

Some builders also let you link to external icon libraries like Font Awesome or Feather Icons if you want access to thousands of additional options. Check Systeme.io's documentation or support to see whether this is possible in your account.

For most sales pages, landing pages, and email sequences, the built-in icons are sufficient. They load quickly, require no extra steps, and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change an icon after I add it to my page?

Yes. Click the icon to select it, then click the icon button in the properties panel to open the icon library again. Search for a different icon and select it. The new icon replaces the old one while keeping the same size and color settings you applied.

What file formats do icons use in Systeme.io?

Systeme.io's built-in icons are vector-based, which means they scale cleanly to any size without becoming blurry or pixelated. You do not need to worry about file format or resolution for these icons.

Can I use icons in email campaigns?

Yes. The icon library works in Systeme.io emails the same way it works on pages. Add an icon, adjust its size and color, and it will display in your subscribers' inboxes. Test how it looks in different email clients, since some older clients may not render colors or sizing exactly as you designed them.

How do I make an icon clickable or link it to another page?

Select the icon and look for a link or URL field in the properties panel. If Systeme.io does not offer this directly on icons, you can place the icon inside a button or text link, which will make the entire element clickable.

What size should I use for icons in different parts of my page?

Header or navigation icons: 20 to 24 pixels. Feature list icons: 32 to 48 pixels. Large hero section icons: 64 to 128 pixels. Social media footer icons: 24 to 32 pixels. Start with these ranges and adjust based on how they look on your actual page and on mobile devices.
