Your icon is never saved to our servers. Icon changes occur in your browser and can be stored on your computer or mobile device. Users enjoy total privacy.

A solid or gradient background can add depth or dimension to a PNG icon, making it more visible. This technique can be used to direct reader attention and to produce high-contrast, dynamic design.

One example is when multiple icons are placed close together, say on a menu bar. If each icon had a colored background, the bar would look cluttered and not at all user-friendly. Transparent icons look uniform so users can quickly and easily identify their desired tool. Remove your icon background here.

Some applications, like social media, require a smaller icon size. Other applications require more resolution and a bigger size. Use the Crop Icon tool to make your icon the right size.

Simply upload your PNG icon to the Center Icon tool, choose horizontal or vertical orientation and your icon will automatically be centered in its background. Then, download or copy your new, balanced image.

Sometimes an icon needs room to breathe! Extra space, also referred to as white space, eliminates visual clutter and improves recognition. Enlarge your icon with the Add Space to Icon tool.

It depends on the overall design. Solid PNG icons are more bold. Outlined PNG icons are more minimalist. Both can attract attention but the correct icon design is the one that matches the brand and usage. Here’s the Outline to Solid Icon tool and the Solid to Outline Icon tool so you can see which style is best.

An icon with pixelated edges may not look professional, which can pull focus away from its meaning. Icons should also be immediately recognizable. Repair it using the Clean Icon Edges tool to make the edges distinct and smooth.

In a word, definition. Outlining the shape of the icon provides dimension and increases visibility. Outlining can be especially effective if your icon is monochromatic and no color can be used for emphasis. Try the Outline Icon tool now.

Does the border make your icon look busy? Does it make reader comprehension more difficult? If so, it should be removed. Use the Remove Icon Border tool to clean up your image.

Starbucks, BMW, KFC, Dell, Volkswagen and more.

The best color depends on the purpose and overall design. Adjoining icons are often neutral colored, like gray, white or beige to help the reader’s eye travel freely. Brightly-colored icons are more informal and may be used on retail, entertainment and lifestyle websites and apps.

Want red instead of blue? Done! Using the Change Icon Colors, upload a PNG icon, pick a color and replace it. Users are also able to select the degree of opacity or to substitute a gradient for a solid color.

Find out with the Extract Palette Icon tool. The tool instantly detects and extracts the PNG icon palette colors. Then it orders them according to the percentage used. Simply copy the hex or RGB code to ensure overall design consistency.

Grayscale PNG icons are excellent for focusing attention on content and user interaction. Grayscale is professional, minimalist and utilitarian. Colored icons are better at conveying emotion and standing out. Try a shaded look using the Grayscale Icon tool.

The Color Layers for Icons tool divides the individual color layers of your image to make editing easier. Each layer of color can be adjusted for hue, contrast and more. Then, combine all the layers to form a visually harmonious design.

A mirror image filter makes an inverted duplicate, or reflection, of the original. A symmetric PNG icon is made by dividing an icon in half and reorienting one of the sides.

Drop shadows are primarily used to add depth to an image. They can be shallow and lifelike or dramatic and three-dimensional, but go easy so your PNG icon doesn’t look dated. Experiment using the Drop Shadows for Icons tool.

In a document, a bold headline makes it stand out and the same principle applies to a PNG icon. Increasing the line weight will result in a wider and more intense icon. Use the Thicker Icon tool for the right amount of impact

Where icons direct readers is more important than the icons themselves. If your PNG icon is too bold,decrease the line weight for a slimmer, less-noticeable look.

Perhaps, try a symmetrical icon. Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and the brain, making it more easily understood. Symmetry can also convey balance and stability which provides a good first impression for a professional organization.

Each file format, such as an opaque JPG or a transparent PNG, is best for one application, like faster loading or printing. Online Digital Icon Maker Tools make it easy to transfer files from one format to another for use in various projects. Find the tool to reformat a JPG to PNG Iconhere.

PNG is always lossless, meaning it preserves all image details without losing quality. This makes it ideal for graphics, logos and other transparent images. Experiment with converting an ICO icon to a PNG icon here.

The WebP format provides excellent image quality compressed into a smaller file size. To convert a PNG icon, simply upload it to the PNG to WebP Icon tool and download your new WebP icon.

Square icons are the workhorses of the digital world. They look professional and work well in a grid layout. Round icons are more commonly used for avatars and profile pictures to create a more approachable aesthetic. Make a round PNG icon here and a square PNG icon here.

An angled PNG icon attracts attention. On e-tailing websites, it can be effectively used to call attention to a short-term event, like a sale. Angled icons may also be used to point out a new feature on a website or app. Use the Rotate Icon tool to find the ideal angle.

Icons are most commonly used in the top navigation bar, or header. However, social media icons are usually found in the footer or sidebar. The search icon is often in the top right corner of the page. Usage drives placement.

Sometimes an icon alone isn’t enough to convey a message effectively. Use the Add Text to Icon tool to overlay a label or caption to ensure that there are no misunderstandings and your message is clear.

The most common location is below the icon, especially if the text is a label. Depending on the size of the icon, placing short text inside of it could increase comprehension. Text placed to the right of a label is often found in navigation menus.

Not only does the Add Text to Icon tool overlay text onto your PNG icon, you can select the ideal font size, weight, color and positioning options for maximum clarity.

How about generating an icon from a few words of text? That’s pretty fast and easy. Use the Icon from Text tool, iterate until you’re happy with your new PNG icon and then download or save to the clipboard.

Absolutely. Emojis make great icons because they are intuitive and recognizable. Find your favorite emoji, upload it to theIcon from Emoji tool and convert it into an image file.


Use cases

Mobile App Designers

Graphic designers develop icons used for mobile apps and every pixel is important because phone screens are so small. Icons must be immediately recognizable, visually appealing and intuitive, despite their petite size.

Designers may generate icons that are the right size, line weight and file format. Right now. Online Digital Icon Maker Tools don’t require downloads to supply results that pop.

Instagram Entrepreneur

Let’s say that a content creator plans to run a sale on Instagram. She needs to move product so how should she design a post to announce the sale? What is the best way to ensure that her followers see it?

Using a shopping cart or percentage symbol icon in an eye-catching color communicates the idea quickly and in an appealing way. Use the Change Icon Colors to find the best shade.

User Interface/User Experience

UI/UX designers interact with icons every day because they are responsible for site and app functionality. Users must be crystal clear on how to navigate and how to accomplish their goals.

One tool in the UI/UX toolbox is pairing icons with labels to reinforce a message. The Add Text to Icon tool makes it easy to overlay a custom label onto an icon.

Retail Marketing

In marketing, icons are designed to complement brand identity and are utilized to convey information in an engaging and visually appealing way.

Icons are used to emphasize important data, break up text-heavy content and function as a call-to-action. Online Digital Icon Maker Tools give marketing pros many ways to make their icons memorable. They can add or remove an icon border; make an iconsolid or outlined; or create a square or round shape, among other tools.

Social Media

Emoji are excellent as icons because they are universally recognized and effectively communicate emotion. For example, an angry face emoji on top of a post indicates upsetting content, which followers understand without reading a word.

Unfortunately, emoji are text characters but the Icon from Emoji tool transforms them into image files ready for the posting.
