Tips and Tricks
A chapter for those who do not read docs
Lunacy has a lot of small but very useful features that can ease your life or significantly speed up your workflow. Their descriptions are scattered across many chapters and if you are not accustomed to reading docs from cover to cover, they are likely to go unnoticed. Below you will find a collection of tips with short demos that will help you take full advantage of Lunacy.
Sharing your designs via Icons8 Cloud
The Alt+С + C
shortcut allows you to instantly upload an object to Icons8 cloud and get a link to it. Just select the required object and use the shortcut. That’s it! The link to the export file is already in your clipboard. You can share it right away.
This option is also available on the context menu. For details, click here.
Background removal
If you need to remove background from an image, you can do it right in Lunacy.
Image upscaler
Lunacy is integrated with the Icons8 Image Upscaler. When you add an image to your document, Lunacy will offer you to enhance the image using our state-of-the-art AI.
Note: The feature is available only to users with a paid subscription.
Text formatting
When editing typography settings you don’t need to select a word or the whole text to make it bold, italicized or whatever. Just set the caret inside a word or at the end of the text and apply the required setting. In the latter case, the setting will be applied to the whole text.
Copying and pasting styling properties
The demo below shows how you can copy and paste styling properties between objects.
Adjusting values in the Inspector
There are several ways to change values in the numeric fields of the Inspector. You can:
- Enter the new value manually (press
Enter
to submit). - Click over the required field and rotate the mouse wheel to gradually increase or decrease the value.
- Hover the cursor over the required field, wait a moment until the cursor turns into a double-headed arrow and then drag the cursor up or down.
- Use math (press
Enter
to submit).
Drawing/resizing shapes from the center
Press and hold Alt
to draw/resize a shape from the center or Alt+Shift
if you want to get a regular shape or preserve aspect ratio during resizing. See the red circle in the demo below.
Drawing horizontal, vertical and 45-degree diagonal lines, arrows and paths
Hold down Shift
when placing the second point of a segment.
Transforming shapes through the Inspector
Icons8 Review
The next demo shows how you can modify shapes by adjusting their properties in the Inspector.
Adjusting the corner radius setting for rectangles
Note: The method shown in the next demo works only with rectangles drawn with the shape tool.
Resizing objects using keyboard
To resize objects, you can use the shortcuts CTRL+ arrow keys
(by 1 pixel) or CTRL+Shift + arrow keys
( by 10 pixels).
Text alignment magnets
You can align text within text boxes using the alignment magnets that appear around the text box when you select it. They combine the functions of the text alignment and position alignment controls. The demo below shows how this nice feature works.
This also works with multiple ungrouped text boxes.
To disable the display of magnets, go to the View menu and uncheck the Text Alignment Magnets option.
Resizing text boxes
To quickly resize a text box so that it fits the text, double-click its vertical or horizontal border.
Note: A double-click over the right or left border sets the text box to the horizontal resize mode and transforms a multiline text into a single line.
Adding text to shapes
The next demo shows how you can quickly add text to shapes. This can be of great use when it comes to design of such UI elements as buttons, menus and things alike.
Text generation
If you need to add a random text to your design, simply expand a text block on the canvas and click the “Generate text” button on the Inspector or select the text type in the top Lunacy panel. Use Shift+R
to refresh the generated text.
Text snippets
You don’t need to think of user names, addresses and stuff of that kind for your designs. Just type the required text snippet and press Enter
. Use Shift+R
to refresh the generated text.
Converting text to vector shapes
Lunacy enables you to convert text layers into vector shapes.
Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl+Shift+O
shortcut.
Note: Remember that the text-to-vector operation is demanding in terms of system resources. Attempts to convert large portions of text can seriously slow Lunacy down .
Disabling snapping
To disable snapping, hold down Ctrl
while dragging an object.

Eyedropper zoom
Lunacy’s eyedropper features a nice zoom option that comes in handy when the target area is small and you need pixel precision. To enable zoom, hover the eyedropper over the target and hold down the left mouse button. Then point the eyedropper to the required pixel and release the mouse button. To exit the zoom mode, press Esc
or quickly swipe the cursor anywhere away from the current area.
Zoom to selection
To quickly jump to the required object on the canvas, select it in the left panel and press Ctrl+2
or double-click its outline/icon.
Scaling objects
If you want to resize an object with styling (borders, shadows, etc.), you should consider the scaling feature. Together with object size, it will accordingly adjust the values of its styling properties. See the demo below and note how the value of the border thickness changes with the object size.
In a similar fashion you can scale several objects at a time.
Importing an image from the internet
To quickly import an image from a web site to Lunacy, right-click over the image, then click Copy image on the context menu. Switch to Lunacy and paste the image onto the canvas.
Image fills
You can create an image fill by dropping an image from the Lunacy library or your desktop directly on to an object as shown in the demo below. For more information about image fills, click here.
Inverting gradients
To quickly invert a gradient use the button next to the gradient bar on the Color Picker.
Hiding UI elements
- To hide the left panel, click the respective button at the bottom of the toolbar or use the View menu.
- To hide the toolbar, Inspector, rulers and other UI elements, use the View menu.
- To hide all UI elements at once (except for the menu bar), use the
Ctrl+.
shortcut or the respective command on the View menu.
Changing the position and disabling the suggestions panel
To change the position of the suggestions panel, click the handle at the top-left corner of the panel and drag it up or down. Lunacy remembers the position of the panel individually for each object.
To disable the suggestions panel, unselect the Suggestions option in the View menu.
