The editor

Everything an icon needs, in one place

A real vector editor that runs in the browser — built only for icons, so every tool earns its place.

Materials

Apple's materials — the real thing

Liquid glass with true refraction, soft clay, embossed metal. Bezel, specular, frost and chroma are live sliders, not baked-in presets — the canvas reacts as you drag.

AI assistant

Say it, watch it happen

Ask for a glassy Finder-style icon, generate a 3D mascot, or hand it a reference image to rebuild. Everything the assistant makes lands as editable layers, never a flat image.

Export

Ship every format at once

.icns for the Mac app, .ico for Windows, an Xcode .appiconset, a full favicon pack or an Icon Composer .icon bundle — one click each, or everything in a single zip.

The toolkit

Every icon task, one toolkit

Search, mask, convert, generate — the Icon Toolkit puts the tools around the editor behind single buttons in your workspace.

Icon search

Query 25,000+ macOS app icons with filters and categories.

Icon mask

Turn any image into a compliant app or folder icon — squircle, shadow and all.

AI generation

A text prompt in, up to 8 masked, ready-to-ship icons out.

Format conversion

.icns, .ico, Xcode .appiconset and Icon Composer .icon bundles.

Favicon & release kits

A full web favicon pack, or every release artifact in one zip.

Background removal

Pixel-exact background removal with no AI re-rendering.

Palette & previews

Extract an icon's colors, or render it in a Dock and home-screen mockup.

Usage & assets

Check your quotas and list every asset your key has generated.

For developers

Every tool in the editor is also an API

Search 25,000+ icons, mask any artwork into a compliant macOS icon, generate icons with AI, and ship .icns, .ico, Xcode assets and favicon packs — from curl, CI, or your own app.

curl — api.macosicons.com
