Easy Icon

Do you want a professional looking icon for your app, but lack the graphic design skills to create one? Tools like Photoshop and Gimp are overkill for making quality looking icons. Easy Icon is a tool created specifically to let you get to the business of creating icons. It does nothing else. You won't find extra gadgets like red-eye correction here. All you need is an idea and a few minutes. You end up with an icon, no steep learning curve, and some money left in your pocket. Features: View Existing Icons • Drop an ICNS icon file or an application onto the new viewer window and see all the image formats in that icon, along with the images themselves. Views / Sizes • Common icon sizes from 16 to 512 bits are always visible in your workspace. • A resizable view can also be opened to view the icon at any size you like. • The icon is drawn separately for each required size to avoid resizing errors. Borders • Choose the border style you would like, or choose no border. • Dress the border up with gradients, shadows, colours and size adjustments. • Take full control of the space between the border and the icon contents. Glows • Add as many glows as you like in the icon's background. • Place each one anywhere in the icon by controls or just drag it around. • Choose if each one is a lineal or a radial (glow) gradient. • Choose the colour and position of up to four gradient stops. • Rearrange each glow's position in the stack. • Decide which icon sizes each glow is valid for. Glyphs • Add as many glyph as you like to the icon. • Each glyph can be an image, text or a custom vector graphic. • Place each one anywhere in the icon by controls or just drag it around. • Change the size and angle of each glyph. • Add shadows to each glyph. • Rearrange each glyph's position in the stack. • Change your text glyph into a vector graphic so you can play with the shapes. • Decide which icon sizes each glyph is valid for. Gloss • Add a gloss to the icon. • The gloss can be a shine from any angle you choose. • The gloss can also be a background glass effect. Create • Create an OSX icon with only the sizes you want. • Create the iOS icon images sizes you want. • Create icon images suitable for Apple's app store. Other • EasyIcon's file format is XML so it is convenient for storing along with your project in version control, and for using text based diff tools to compare changes.
