Q: Do I need an account to try it?

No. The editor opens as a scratch document in your browser. Sign up when you want to save or export it.

A vector editor that only does icons, with liquid glass, clay and emboss built in. It runs directly in your browser and exports .icns, PNG and Icon Composer .icon bundles.

From the first path to the finished .icns, without leaving the tab.

Materials Try it live

Glass, clay and emboss on live vector shapes

The material stays attached to the path, so when you change the shape, the refraction, bezel and specular follow it.

Refraction100 %

Bezel100 %

Curvature100 %

Chroma9 %

Specular100 %

Tint strength40 %

The inspector's own sliders, on the editor's own glass shader. Drag a bubble over the wordmark to watch it refract.

Vector tools

Draw with real vector tools

Pen, lines and point-by-point path editing
Boolean operations, corner radii and Apple's squircle corners
Heroicons and Lucide glyphs, text layers and woven paths

The editor's layer list and canvas, with a path selected on a clay icon

App and folder icons

The app icon and its folder, in one document

macOS folder boards with real tint, blur and grain
macOS, iOS and watchOS masks, or no mask at all
Several boards side by side, each with its own layers

The app icon and a macOS folder with the same face, as two boards of one document

Editor

Pixels, paths and polish. One editor.

Backgrounds that match
Mesh gradients you shape by hand, and color suggestions, harmonies included, taken from your own artwork.
- Drop shadow
- Inner shadow
- Glow
- Grain
- Halftone shader
Effects, stacked
Inner and outer shadows, glow, grain, sticker borders and holographic foil, plus GLSL shaders you can write yourself.
From pixels to paths
Remove a background four different ways, or trace a bitmap into an editable SVG layer with a live preview.
Start from a template
Open a designed template, or duplicate any project in the community gallery to see exactly how it was built.

Weave

Make paths pass over and under.

Turn overlapping paths into a woven mark, then choose which strand sits on top at every crossing.

Your original paths stay separate and editable
Click any crossing to flip the over-and-under order
Remove the weave whenever you want the plain paths back

Describe it. Get layers you can edit.

Generate up to eight icon options from one prompt, or split a flat image into separate layers. Everything comes back as layers on your canvas, so you can keep going by hand.
