Can you use Webflow's native icons like Close (X), Arrows (< >), and Hamburger/Menu icons instead of third-party tools like Font Awesome?

Yes, Webflow provides native icons such as Close (X), Arrow icons, and the Hamburger/Menu icon directly through its built-in components, so you don’t need to rely on third-party libraries like Font Awesome.

1. Use the Built-in Hamburger/Menu Icon

• Add a Navbar component from the Add panel (A).
• The Navbar includes a built-in Hamburger icon that becomes visible on tablet and smaller breakpoints.
• You can customize the icon appearance (color, size, spacing) directly in the Styles panel.
• The icon toggles the menu open/closed and automatically switches to a Close (X) icon when the menu is active.

2. Use Webflow's Built-in Arrow and Close (X) Icons

• Go to the Add panel (A), then drag in an Image or use the Icon element under "Elements → Media."
• Webflow provides a library of native SVG icons you can choose from when adding an Icon element.
• Common icons include:
• Arrows (left, right, up, down)
• Close (X)
• Plus (+), Minus (-), Checkmarks, etc.
• These icons are scalable SVGs, so they’re lightweight and fully styleable with color, size, and rotation options.

3. Customize Native Icons Without Code

• Select the inserted icon and use the Styles panel to change:
• Size (width/height)
• Color (fill)
• Margins and spacing
• For Rotate effects (like flipping arrows), use the Transform settings.

4. Animation and Interaction Support

• Native icons can be part of interactions (e.g., rotate the arrow on dropdown open).
• Use Webflow Interactions (IX2) to animate icons easily without code.

Summary

You can confidently use Webflow's native icons—including Hamburger/Menu, Arrows, and Close (X)—without third-party libraries. They're customizable SVGs that integrate seamlessly with Webflow's visual editor and interactions.
