What is Icon Mason?
Icon Mason is a powerful tool designed for designers and illustrators to manage and create icon libraries directly within Adobe Illustrator. Users can open, browse, and drop icons from their existing IconJars, add, delete, or replace icons in existing IconJars, and even export their artboards to a new IconJar right in Illustrator – available on both Mac and Windows.
While IconJar installation is not required, having it enhances the user experience.

Use Cases and Applications
Designers can efficiently organize and manage their icon collections, ensuring consistent use across different projects. By quickly accessing and updating icons, they can streamline the design process and maintain a cohesive visual style.
For example, a designer working on multiple branding projects can easily pull icons from their IconJar, modify them as needed, and export them back, ensuring all assets are up-to-date and consistent. This functionality is particularly useful for maintaining brand identity across various marketing materials and digital platforms.
