Step 1: Prepare the Icons

Before we begin, make sure you have the social media icons you want to use. You can either design them yourself or find pre-made icon sets online. It’s important that the icons are in a format that supports transparency, such as PNG or SVG, for a clean and professional look.

Step 2: Upload the Icons

Once you have your social media icons ready, it’s time to upload them to Webflow. Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and open your project.
  2. Select the page where you want to add the social media icons from the left-hand sidebar.
  3. Navigate to the Assets tab at the top of the page.
  4. Click on the “Upload” button and select the icon files from your computer.
  5. Wait for the upload process to complete.

Note: If you prefer hosting your icons externally, make sure you have their direct URLs handy for later use.

Step 3: Add an Icon Element

To add a social media icon on your Webflow site, follow these steps:

  1. Select an existing element where you want to place the icon or create a new element.

  3. Choose the “Image” element from the dropdown menu.
  4. Drag and drop the image element onto your desired location.

Step 4: Link the Icon to Your Social Media Profile

To make your social media icons clickable and link them to your profiles, follow these steps:

  1. Select the image element you just added.
  2. Add a link:
    • Navigate to the right-hand sidebar and click on the “Settings” tab (gear icon).
    • Paste or type your social media profile URL in the “Link URL” field.

Step 5: Style Your Icons (Optional)

If you want to customize the appearance of your social media icons, you can do so using Webflow’s styling options. Here’s how:

  1. Select an icon:
    • Navigate to:
      • The right-hand sidebar (style panel)
                  • The “Select” dropdown
    • Choose your styling options:
      • Modify the size, color, and position of the icon using the available options.
      • Experiment with different styles until you achieve your desired look.

Step 6: Repeat for Additional Icons
