Manage SVG icons and other assets on a Mac or PC with SVGX, a desktop asset manager.
Icon Shelf
Organize SVG icons from a web project’s asset folder and copy them as code with Icon Shelf.
About Icon Shelf
Icon Shelf is an icon manager for web developers. It connects to a web project's assets folder, displays the SVG icons in that folder, and lets users copy icons as code. Icons can be organized into collections for different projects, searched by name, and previewed at a large size. An SVG optimizer is available for preparing icons for production.
Teams can connect the collections folder to a service such as GitHub or Dropbox to share icons. This sync depends on those external services. Icon Shelf does not add any extra files to the connected assets folder. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The homepage describes the tool as free to use, but pricing is not confirmed by the source. The homepage also calls it open source, while the directory metadata lists it as not open source, so check the project page before relying on either claim.
