About CandyIcons
CandyIcons is a web service that generates app icons from text. Users describe the icon in a few keywords, choose colors, and select one or more styles such as retro, cartoon, geometric, neon, clay, 3D, pixel, origami, minimal, gradient and watercolor. An assistant can suggest icon ideas from a short description of the product, and the user sets how many icons to generate per style.
The service is aimed at indie developers, founders and small app teams who need icons for mobile or web products without commissioning a designer. Generated icons are paid for with credits. The site also sells a library of pre made icons individually, and each listing shows its own price. Free tools include an iOS and macOS app icon asset generator and a favicon generator.
Credit prices are not shown on the home page. Pre made icons carry their own listed prices, and the product pages describe each purchase as including 512 by 512 pixel images, the full set of sizes for each platform and full copyright ownership.
