I use ACF Pro to build custom page builder interfaces for clients. Each field group is identified by a headline, which works fine when there are only a few groups — but as the number of groups grows, navigating by name alone becomes slow and error-prone for end users.
The request
It would be great if ACF allowed an optional image or icon (including SVGs) to be associated with each field group. This image would appear alongside the group name when selecting a group, making it much faster to visually identify the right one at a glance.
Why it would help
Clients and editors often struggle to identify the correct group by name alone
A visual cue dramatically speeds up selection, especially in content-heavy setups
SVG support would allow clean, scalable icons that match a brand’s design system
Possible implementation ideas
A simple image upload field in the Field Group settings
Alternatively, an icon picker or the ability to paste an SVG
The image could display in the group selection UI as a thumbnail or icon
This would be a relatively small addition that could make a big difference to the usability of custom page builder setups. Happy to provide more detail or mockups if helpful!
