Getting Started

Icon packs are an easy way to share icons, represented as static and animated images, for Stream Deck keys and dials. Packaged as .streamDeckIconPack files, icon packs can be distributed as standalone files, or through Marketplace, and once installed into Stream Deck become available through Stream Deck's Icon Library.

Formats​

Icons within an icon pack can be static and/or animated images, and must be the following:

  • All images must be 144 × 144 px.

  • SVG, PNG, JPEG for static images.

  • GIF, WEBP for animated images.

  • Have a filename length of ≤80 characters.

Recommendations

  • use a frame rate of 10–20 fps for animated icons.

  • keep animated icons ≤5 seconds.

One size fits all

Stream Deck with automatically scale your images where necessary, and you do not need to provide different sized images for different Stream Deck devices.

warning

Large animated icons can affect system performance. Keep both image dimensions and file size small (preferably ≤1 MB) to ensure a smooth user experience.
