# The Social Icons Block: Link Your Profiles Without Chasing Icon Files

Drop in a row of linked social icons — real brand logos or tinted to match — with a hover that makes them feel clickable. No CSS, no icon downloads.

## The same follow row, rebuilt from scratch every time

You want a row of social icons in your footer — the networks you’re actually on, each linking to your profile. So you go hunting for icon files, paste in SVGs you half-trust, and line them up by hand. Change one and the spacing drifts. Build the same row on the next site, and you start over from nothing.

The Social Icons block builds that row for you. Pick the networks, drop in your profile links, and each icon arrives with its real logo already in place.

Each network shows its own official logo and brand colour — no hunting for icon files.

Or tint every icon to one custom colour, so they sit quietly in a footer or header.

Add a hover motion — grow, shrink, lift or rotate — so the icons feel clickable.

Build the exact row you use — add only the networks you’re on, each linked to your profile.

Plus the usual size, gap, alignment and responsive controls, so it fits your design instead of fighting it.

Setting one up takes a moment. Add the networks you’re on, paste each profile link, pick a size and a hover, and the preview lines them up as you go. No CSS, no icon files to download, nothing to remember.

## See the Social Icons block in action

Each row below is the same block with one thing changed. The links here are placeholders — point them at your own profiles.

**Official brand colours, growing on hover.** Each icon carries its real logo and colour, and nudges a little bigger when you point at it.

**Tinted to one custom colour, lifting on hover.** The same networks in a single quiet tint for a footer, each rising slightly under the cursor.

**Larger icons that rotate on hover.** Bumped up in size for a header strip, with a small spin when pointed at.
