AI app icon generator - Edit App Icons with Simple Prompts - Create iOS and Android app icons with AI

Introducing Edit mode to IconCraft - refine your app icons iteratively with simple prompts like 'change background to blue' or 'add glass effect'. Creating the perfect icon is now a seamless, conversational process.

Creating Icons is an Iterative Process

Getting an app icon just right isn't a one-shot deal. You generate an icon, it's close but not quite there. Maybe the background needs tweaking. Maybe the subject needs more depth. Maybe you want to try a glass effect.

Before today, each change meant starting over. Regenerating from scratch. Hoping the AI understood your vision the second (or third, or fourth) time.

That changes now.

Edit Mode: Refine Instead of Recreate

We're excited to introduce Edit mode to IconCraft. Now when you have an icon that's almost perfect, you can refine it with simple, natural prompts:

  • "Change background to blue"
  • "Add glass effect to subject"
  • "Make it darker"
  • "Add more contrast"
  • "Remove the shadow"
Toggle between Create and Edit modes in IconCraft

No need to describe your entire icon again. No need to hope the AI remembers what worked the first time. Just tell it what to change.

How It Works

Toggle between Create and Edit modes at the top of the playground. It's that simple.

In Create mode, you start fresh-describe your app and generate new icons.

In Edit mode, you work with your existing icon-refine, adjust, and iterate until it's exactly what you need.

Both modes work side-by-side with your icons, so you can see changes in real-time and keep iterating until you're happy.

Examples in Action

Here are some real examples of how Edit mode transforms your icons with simple prompts:

Make background Green - Change the background color with a simple promptConvert to Blueprint Mode - Add technical blueprint styling to your iconMake it Dark Mode - Transform your icon with darker tones and better contrast

Why This Matters

Icon design is subjective. What looks perfect to one person might need small tweaks for another. What works in light mode might need adjustments for dark mode. What stands out in the App Store might feel too bold on a home screen.

Edit mode gives you control without complexity. You don't need to understand layers, masks, or blend modes. You just describe what you want in plain English, and the AI handles the rest.

Real-World Example

Let's say you generated a productivity app icon with a blue gradient background and a white checklist icon. It looks good, but:

  • First iteration: "Make background lighter"
  • Second iteration: "Add subtle shadow to checklist"
  • Third iteration: "Add slight glass effect"

Three simple prompts. No regenerating from scratch. No losing what already worked.
