Feature request: Label Wizard for Font Awesome

[ortijm]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes. Currently, users manually add labels/icons to projects, which is time-consuming and inconsistent. Designers/developers need a streamlined way to generate, customize, and export labeled icons (e.g., for buttons, navigation, or tutorials) without switching between multiple tools.

Feature description

The Label Wizard would be an interactive tool on the Font Awesome website allowing users to:

1. Select Icons: Choose any Font Awesome icon.
2. Add Text: Dynamically add/edit text labels (with font/style/color customization).
3. Adjust Layout: Control text position (top, bottom, left, right), spacing, alignment, and sizing.
4. Export Options: Generate SVG/PNG files or copy React/Vue code for the combined icon+label.
5. Preview: Real-time preview with accessibility features (e.g., alt-text suggestions).

Example Use Case

A developer creating a "Download" button could:

• Pick the download icon.
• Add the text "Download" positioned to the right.
• Choose a bold font and matching color.
• Export as React code or SVG.

Alternatives

• Manual Workarounds: Users currently use graphic design tools (Figma, Illustrator) or code editors to manually pair icons with text, which is inefficient.

• Third-Party Plugins: Some tools offer icon labeling but lack native integration with Font Awesome’s library and code export features.

Additional context

• This would enhance Font Awesome’s pro/enterprise value by saving users time and ensuring consistency.

• Similar tools exist for icon sets like Material Design Icons but are not built into the Font Awesome ecosystem.

• Could integrate with the existing "Icon Manager" or "Kit" workflow for seamless usage.
