Does FlatGrabber require a premium Flaticon subscription?

No. FlatGrabber acts as an active front-end DOM inspector. When Flaticon's interactive editor loads vector assets in the viewport, the extension extracts the clean SVG coordinate layers directly from the browser's DOM context.

How does the Figma clipboard bridge work?

Figma parses standard text/html clipboard wrappers. FlatGrabber packages your copied vector inside a specific custom HTML mime-type tag, allowing Figma's engine to reconstruct paths directly as fully editable vector shapes rather than code blocks.

Is FlatGrabber safe and secure?

Yes. FlatGrabber is fully open-source, operates locally on your machine, requests minimal Chromium permissions (activeTab, clipboardWrite), and does not track user behavior or send data to external servers.

Designed for high-speed workflows.

FlatGrabber is packed with advanced vector scraping features designed to optimize your design-to-development pipeline.

Smart Canvas Interceptor

Uses deep DOM capture-phase event listeners to intercept canvas elements directly from Flaticon's active editor, bypassing native page routing blocks.

Figma Clipboard Bridge

Wraps vector XML codes inside specific text/html custom tags so Figma translates the coordinates immediately into fully editable vector nodes rather than code text blocks.

Real-time Color Recolor

Parses SVG trees dynamically in a browser-rendered virtual DOM. Recolor hex values dynamically before copying, utilizing recent color history swatches.

Figma Grid Compiler

Packages multiple saved library items into an aligned 2D matrix structure code. Paste into Figma to instantiate an entire formatted design system grid instantly.

Smart Vector Warnings

Detects non-vector legacy Flaticon assets automatically, disabling raw copying to block empty coordinates payload errors, keeping workflows clean.

Local-First Privacy

Operates 100% locally as an unpacked code structure. Requesting zero network analytics tracking, zero database storage, keeping design systems completely private.

DOM Vector Extraction Workflow

How FlatGrabber inspects active page nodes to format clean vector markup in 4 simple steps.

Select Icon details

Browse Flaticon packs and click on any desired icon to load its standard detailed preview overlay drawer.

Click "Edit Icon"

Click the colorful paint pencil 🎨 button above the image. This triggers Flaticon to load the vector DOM nodes inside its editor.

Paste to Figma

Click Copy Code (or press C). Paste inside Figma. The icon appears as fully editable layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. FlatGrabber uses a client-side DOM scraping methodology that bypasses the restriction by accessing Flaticon's interactive Icon Editor. Since free accounts can edit icons, the editor must load raw vector path arrays in the background. FlatGrabber simply intercepts this array, allowing free accounts to get unwatermarked vectors safely.

If you copy and paste raw SVG text directly, Figma treats it as standard text layer code. FlatGrabber bypasses this by serializing the clipboard buffer specifically using an HTML wrapper mime type (text/html). When you paste, Figma's DOM-to-Canvas compiler parses the wrapper, reads the underlying vector coordinates, and maps them as vector shapes.

Yes. FlatGrabber is built on top of standard Manifest V3 specifications. It is fully compatible with Google Chrome, Brave Browser, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and any other Chromium-based platforms in developer mode.

Absolutely. By loading FlatGrabber unpacked from source, you are in complete control. You can inspect all files (content.js, background.js) to verify there are zero analytics frameworks, trackers, or remote server connections. It operates completely inside your local browser context.
