Description
HubToolify Icons adds an Icon block to the editor. Search the HubToolify library by name or meaning (try “rocket”, “cart” or “secure”), pick a style, and click an icon to insert it. Set its size, colour, alignment and alternative text in the block settings.
It also adds a Sticker block. Browse 1,400+ HubToolify stickers (festivals such as Diwali, Christmas and Navratri, birthdays, thank-you notes, small-business labels, cute animals and more, still and animated), filter by pack, and click one. The sticker is saved in your Media Library and becomes an ordinary Image block. Stickers are part of HubToolify Pro: everyone can browse them, and inserting needs a connected Pro account.
Create with AI, right in the editor. Both blocks have a “Create with AI” button that opens the HubToolify AI generators in a panel inside the editor: describe what you need in your own words (Hindi and Hinglish work too), pick an engine (HD, Animated or Library styles for icons; still or animated stickers, with or without the white border), see the price, and press Create. Click a result to insert it, or Change it with a message. An AI icon goes into the Icon block as clean SVG; an AI sticker, an animated sticker or an animated icon goes into your Media Library and becomes an Image block. The panel shows your AI credit balance and what each drawing used. AI is paid with the AI credits of your HubToolify account: HubToolify Pro includes credits every month, and Pro members can buy top-ups on hubtoolify.com. Nothing is sold inside WordPress. The full generator on hubtoolify.com can still be opened from the same button.
- 3,700+ original icons drawn on one 24 px grid, across 44 categories.
- Free styles: Line, Solid and Duotone, for everyone, no account needed.
- Pro styles: Sharp Line, Sharp Solid, Sharp Duotone, Imprint, Pixel, Slab, Mellow, Draw, Duo, Flat, Jass, 3D and Lineal. Connect a HubToolify account with an active Pro plan to insert them.
- Fast pages: each icon is saved in your post as a small inline SVG. Your pages load no icon font, no script and nothing from HubToolify.
- Yours to keep: inserted icons stay in your posts, and stickers in your Media Library, if you disconnect, your plan ends or you remove the plugin.
- 1,400+ stickers (Pro): still stickers as 512 px WebP; animated stickers as animated WebP or GIF. Each is saved once in your Media Library and reused after that.
- AI icons and stickers: HD, animated and library-style icons, stickers and animated stickers, drawn for you and inserted in one click. Credits are spent on hubtoolify.com, at the prices shown there.
- Accessible: add alternative text for icons that carry meaning; decorative icons are hidden from screen readers.
Each WordPress user connects their own HubToolify account, from the block or from Settings HubToolify Icons. Connecting shows a short code that you enter on hubtoolify.com; no password is ever typed into WordPress.
The [hti] shortcode from the earlier version keeps working for the free styles, e.g. [hti name="rocket" style="solid" size="32" color="#1766f2"].
External services
This plugin uses the HubToolify service at https://hubtoolify.com to search the icon and sticker libraries and to fetch the icons and stickers you insert. Without it the plugin cannot find or insert them.
What is sent, and when:
- When you search in the block: your search words, the chosen style, category and page number. Sent from your site’s server.
- When you insert an icon (or the
[hti]shortcode shows an icon for the first time): the icon’s name and style. For a Pro style, the access token of the HubToolify account you connected is sent too, so HubToolify can check your Pro plan. - When you search stickers: your search words, the chosen pack, the still/animated filter and the page number.
- When you insert a sticker: the sticker’s name, the format (WebP or GIF) and the access token of the HubToolify account you connected, so HubToolify can check your Pro plan. HubToolify counts the download for its “Trending” list and for your own “My library” page.
- When you open “Create with AI”: your site’s server asks hubtoolify.com, with the access token of the HubToolify account you connected, for your AI credit balance and the current prices. The editor also loads hubtoolify.com/plugin/painter in a hidden frame: HubToolify’s drawing tools, which turn the AI answers into SVG icons, stickers and GIFs in your browser. That frame receives only the AI results to draw; it has no access to your site or your posts.
- When you press Create or Change: your site’s server sends your description, the engine, style, number of versions and price you chose (and, for a change, the picture being changed) to hubtoolify.com with your access token. HubToolify uses OpenAI to draw it and charges your HubToolify AI credits as described on hubtoolify.com/pricing. The pictures it draws come back to your site’s server and the editor. When you click a result, the plugin uploads it to your Media Library (an image) or cleans it on your server (an SVG icon). HubToolify keeps each AI icon, sticker and animation it draws (not your description) in your account, under AI creations in My library on hubtoolify.com. Unless you keep new AI creations private there, each is sent to HubToolify’s team for review and, if approved, listed in the AI Icon Library (hubtoolify.com/icons/ai-library) or the AI Sticker Library (hubtoolify.com/stickers/ai-library) for HubToolify Pro members, without your name. You can withdraw or delete any of your AI creations there at any time.
- When you open the full generator on hubtoolify.com instead: your browser opens hubtoolify.com/icons/generate or hubtoolify.com/stickers/generate in a new window, with your site’s address in the link so the page can check that your account connected this site. Everything you type there is sent to hubtoolify.com. When you press Insert, that window sends the finished file to this editor window.
- The account panel also shows your AI credit balance, read with your access token.
- When you connect or disconnect your account: your site’s address (to name the connection on your HubToolify account page), and the temporary code and token used to connect.
- Every request also carries your site’s address in its User-Agent.
No visitor data is sent: requests are made only from the WordPress admin by logged-in users, or once per icon by the [hti] shortcode, never from your visitors’ browsers. Icon and sticker previews in the editor are loaded from hubtoolify.com.

FAQ
-
Do I need an account?
-
No. Line, Solid and Duotone icons work without an account. An account with an active HubToolify Pro plan unlocks the 13 Pro styles and the stickers.
-
What happens to my icons if my Pro plan ends?
-
Icons and stickers you already inserted stay in your posts and Media Library and keep working. Only inserting new Pro icons and stickers stops until the plan is active again.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. Icons are stored in the post as small SVGs. The plugin adds one tiny stylesheet and no JavaScript to your pages, and your pages never contact HubToolify.
-
Where do stickers go?
-
Into your Media Library, as an image file named after the sticker, with its name as the alternative text. The block then becomes a normal Image block, so you can resize, align, link or caption it like any image. Inserting the same sticker again in the same format reuses that file.
-
How do AI credits work?
-
“Create with AI” draws on hubtoolify.com with the AI credits of your own HubToolify account; the price of each drawing is shown on the Create button before you send it, a drawing that fails is not charged, and “Try again” after a dropped connection never charges twice. HubToolify Pro includes AI credits every month, and Pro members can buy top-up packs. Credits are bought on hubtoolify.com/pricing, never inside WordPress. Your balance is shown in the AI panel and in the block’s account panel.
-
Do I need to connect my site for AI?
-
Yes. Drawing in the editor uses the HubToolify account you connected, so its credits are spent only by you. A site connected before version 2.3.0 is asked to connect again once: the new connection is allowed to spend AI credits, and hubtoolify.com says so before you approve it.
-
Why can my Contributors not insert stickers?
-
A sticker is saved as a file, and WordPress only lets roles with the “upload files” permission (Authors and above) add files. Contributors can still use the Icon block.
-
Can every editor on my site use my Pro account?
-
No. Each WordPress user connects their own HubToolify account; a Pro plan covers one person.
-
How do I disconnect?
-
In Settings HubToolify Icons (or the block’s account panel) click Disconnect. You can also remove the connection on hubtoolify.com under Account Connected apps.
-
How is the icon licensed?
-
The plugin’s code is GPLv2 or later. The icons are HubToolify’s original artwork under the HubToolify Icons licence (free styles) and the Pro licence (Pro styles); the stickers are under the HubToolify Stickers licence. You may use them in your sites and projects, but not redistribute them as an icon or sticker set. See https://hubtoolify.com/licenses.
