Wix Studio Repeater tips for using your own SVG icons from Adobe Illustrator
In this video, I walk you through how to:
✅ Add and manage SVG icons in Wix Studio
✅ Use repeaters to align icons and text perfectly
✅ Export icons correctly from Adobe Illustrator; Wix ignores your artboards/viewBox sizing, so you need to rework and size your icons differently in Illustrator.
🚫 Avoid common frustrations (like why you can't use SVGs in the image element)
Whether you're creating a block of icons that look great on mobile and desktop, or trying to keep consistent sizing between icons and titles, you'll learn exactly what works (and what doesn’t!).
