2019 is about to end shortly! The world is gearing up to celebrate Christmas and welcome 2020. 2019 was a pretty exciting year for Iconscout. Many goals have been reached and we will aim to continue doing so in 2020. Let’s rewind the amazing year we have and see our milestones and landmarks.

Some of the quick stats are as follows:

Crossing 2 Million+ Mark

This year we crossed an iconic landmark of reaching 2 Million+ design resources that includes 1.5M+ icons, 10K+ illustrations, and 500K+ stock photos. This makes Iconscout the world’s fastest-growing design resources marketplace.

Product Launches

Iconscout comes to Figma

This was one of the most requested plugin from our users. We’ve released Iconscout Figma Plugin right after the launch of the Figma Plugins ecosystem. And guess what? more than 5000+ users are already using it on a daily basis.

Unicons

We’ve released 1300 open sourced Line font icons that can be used right into your websites, apps and more. And that’s not it, we’ve added more icons as per your request. We also released a large update to it by launching them in the Monochrome version. And we’ll be launching more styles like Thinline in 2020.

Paper Illustrations

Our design team worked on a weekend side project to provide free illustrations for the community. The handcrafted 50 illustrations are very unique in style and loved by our users.

Assets Generator

We know as a designer you need to generate icon/logo for favicons, iOS App Store or Android Play Store submission. We worked on it and lunched the Assets Generator that generates these images with a single click.

Myscout [Beta]

Our mission to build the best design tools continues by launching Myscout in beta. Myscout is a design assets management tool that allows you to manage your icons, illustrations, stock photos, colors, fonts, and many more creative resources at one single place. This keeps your branch in sync with other members from Marketing, Sales & Development Teams.
