How can I add an image (icon) to a default button in Webflow?

You can add an image (like an icon) to a default Webflow button by placing it inside the button element and styling it using Flexbox. Here's how to do it.

1. Add the Button to Your Page

• Drag a Button element from the Add panel onto your canvas.
• Optionally, change the button's text under the Element Settings panel or directly on the canvas.

2. Add Your Icon/Image

• Drag an Image or SVG element and drop it into the button (before or after the text).
• For consistency, make sure the icon is small (e.g., 16x16 or 24x24 pixels).
• If you're using a native image, upload the file or select one from your assets.

3. Style the Button with Flexbox

• Select the Button element.
• In the Style panel, set Display: Flex.
• Choose Direction: Horizontal (Row) for side-by-side layout.
• Use Align: Center and Justify: Center/Start/End/Space-between as needed based on your layout.

4. Style the Icon

• Select the Image inside the button.
• Add margin to the icon (e.g., margin-right: 8px) to separate it from the text if the icon is placed before the text.
• You can control the size of the icon by setting a fixed width and height (e.g., 16px).

5. Optional: Use a Div Instead of a Button

• If you need more layout flexibility, consider using a div block styled as a button with interactions and an embedded icon/text block.
• However, for accessibility and form submissions, it’s best to use the native Button component.

Summary

To add an icon to a button in Webflow, place an Image or SVG inside the button, set the button to Display: Flex, and adjust alignment and spacing. This enables a clean, responsive layout for buttons with icons.
