What is the Icon Maker?

The Icon Maker is a lightweight, browser‑based design tool that lets you create custom icons for apps, websites, dashboards, presentations, and branding. Whether you're designing a simple symbol or a polished UI asset, this tool gives you full control over shapes, colors, borders, shadows, and typography.

As a (CLIENT) tool, all rendering happens directly in your browser. Your designs are never uploaded or stored on any server, making it ideal for professional design work, branding projects, and private assets.
