Design once. Reuse anywhere. Update easily.

With Symbols, Sketch takes the pain out of working with repeated design elements — from icons to avatars.

Iterate at speed

Create a master Symbol, use it anywhere in your document and Sketch will sync your changes.

Override text and images

Edit text and images in your Symbols — wherever they’re used — for dynamic designs.

One size fits all

Resize Symbols wherever you use them to test elements across different screen sizes.

Roll your own UI Kit

Sync, share and update Symbols, across all of your documents, with Libraries.
