Design with layers
Mix symbols, images, and patterns in one canvas. Adjust scale, opacity, rotation, colors, shadows, and alignment without leaving the app.
macOS icon design utility
Polished app icons without a full design suite.
IconMaker gives you a focused Mac workflow for building app icons with symbols, images, patterns, grouped concepts, and export-ready assets for Apple platforms.
Clean exports. Layered editing. Built for people who want to make icons, not fight tooling.
Organize ideas in groups
Keep related icon concepts together, switch between design tabs quickly, and compare variations without cluttering your workspace.
Export for shipping
Generate PNG icon sets and reusable JSON design exports so you can move from concept to implementation with less friction.
How it works
A focused workflow from first layer to final export
Start with a symbol, image, or pattern
Build a clean base quickly, then add background treatment, supporting shapes, or imported artwork.
Refine visually
Use saved colors, bulk layer tools, keyboard nudging, and grouped designs to tune variations without repetitive manual work.
Export what you need
Send out platform-ready PNGs or preserve the editable source as a design set for future releases.
In the app
Focused tooling for real icon work
Inspect and tune every layer
Work with image, symbol, and pattern layers in one place. The inspector keeps styling, colors, shadow, scale, opacity, and rotation close at hand.
Compare grouped concepts
Keep related directions together and switch between tabs without losing context.
Search the symbol catalog fast
Browse categories, search directly, and use favorites to get to the right symbol quickly.
Build with backgrounds and patterns
Use image backgrounds, generated fades, and repeatable pattern layers to create richer icon treatments.
