// AI ICON GENERATOR
AI icon generator — describe an icon, get four to choose from
Say what the icon should show. Each run returns four centred designs with simple silhouettes, built to stay readable when they're small.
Full resolution, no watermark.
What the icon generator does
The icon generator is a tool inside Keter Labs, an AI creative studio. It's the image generator running in icon mode, which adds an instruction to your description: centre the composition, keep the silhouette simple, stay readable at small sizes and leave lettering out unless you ask for it.
- Takes
- A text description, and an optional reference image
- Returns
- Four generated images per run
What you can set
Most icons want 1:1.
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Description | What the icon shows, and the style you want |
| Count | Up to four images in one run |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16 |
| Reference image | Optional, PNG, JPEG or WebP |
| Saved style | Optional, to keep runs closer to each other |
How to generate an icon
- 1
Describe the icon
Say what it shows and how it should look.
- 2
Run it
Four variations come back together, so you can compare directions.
- 3
Download the one that works
Or change the description and run it again.
Raster images, not vector files
The output is a generated image. There's no SVG, no editable path and no icon-font export anywhere in the tool. If you need a file that scales cleanly to any size, or a set with matched stroke weights, an icon library or a vector editor is the right choice. This is for getting a usable icon image quickly, or for exploring directions before someone draws the real one.
What you get
| Input | A text description |
| Output | Four generated images per run |
| Composition | Centred, simple silhouette, readable small |
| Lettering | Left out unless you ask for it |
| Output resolution | Full, no watermark |
| Cost | 2 credits per image, so 8 credits for a run of four |
| Free images | Fifteen |
| Failed runs | Refunded, so a timeout costs no credits |
What this tool doesn't do
No SVG, no vector paths, no icon-font or sprite export.
Two runs won't reliably share a stroke weight or corner style.
No preset sizes for app stores or design systems.
The output format isn't guaranteed to be PNG.
Text inside an icon is unreliable, which is why it's left out by default.
You get a finished image, not a layered file.
Who it's for
Product and web designers
placeholder icons while a layout is still moving
Founders and small teams
an icon for a landing page or a deck
Anyone exploring
four directions from one description before committing
Frequently asked questions
Can I download an SVG?+
No. The output is a generated image, not a vector file. There's no path data to edit and no icon-font export.
Can I make a matching set?+
Not reliably. Each run is generated on its own, so stroke weight, corner style and detail vary. Attaching a saved style or a reference image holds them closer together, but it isn't guaranteed.
Will it put text in the icon?+
Only if you ask. The instruction sent with your description leaves lettering out by default, because generated text inside a small graphic is often wrong.
How many credits is one run?+
Each image costs 2 credits, and a run returns four, so a full run costs 8. Thirty welcome credits covers fifteen images.
What makes a good icon description?+
Name the object first, then the style. "A coffee cup, flat, single colour, thick outline" gives the model more to work with than "coffee icon". The instruction sent with your description already asks for a centred composition and a simple silhouette, so there's no need to repeat that part.
Can I change the shape?+
Yes, to 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16. Most icons want 1:1, which is the square option and the one that matches how icons usually sit in a layout.
Can I use my own reference?+
Yes. Attach a PNG, JPEG or WebP, or a style you've saved, to steer the result.
