Icon Design: How to Create Custom Icons with AI

Icons are everywhere — in apps, websites, presentations, and more. Creating custom icons used to require design skills. AI can create custom icons in seconds. Here's how on Crevisto.

What the Icon Design tool does

The Icon Design tool generates custom icons from your description. The result includes:

  • Clean design — simple, recognizable icons
  • Consistent style — all icons match a consistent style
  • Scalable — works at any size
  • Multiple formats — PNG, SVG-ready
  • Professional look — polished, app-quality

How to create an icon

1. Visit the Icon Design tool

2. Enter your icon description

3. Click "Generate"

4. Download your icon

Tips for best results

  • Be specific — "shopping cart icon" is better than "cart"
  • Include the style — "minimalist", "filled", "outline" helps
  • Generate multiple times — each icon is unique
  • Pick the best one — choose the one that fits your needs

Using the CLI

curl -fsSL https://crevisto.com/install.sh | sh
crevisto trial
crevisto generate icon-design --input text="shopping cart icon" --output ./icon.webp

Batch processing

for icon in "home" "settings" "profile" "search" "notification"; do
  crevisto generate icon-design --input text="$icon icon" --output "./icons/$icon.webp"
done

Why icons matter

Icons are a critical part of UI design. They affect:

  • Usability — good icons make interfaces easier to use
  • Brand identity — custom icons build brand recognition
  • Professionalism — polished icons look professional
  • Accessibility — clear icons help all users
