Iconic V2 — Icon Editor

Professional pixel-art icon editor for power users — layers, multiple sizes, SVG tracing, all in your browser.

Iconic V2 is the full-powered successor to Iconic V1. It adds layers, multi-size projects, sprite-sheet management, selection tools, dithering, SVG tracing export, and a rich keyboard shortcut system — all still running entirely in your browser with no external libraries.

Design your icon once at the largest size, then let Iconic downscale it to fill all smaller sizes automatically. Export as .ico, .png, or traced .svg, or save the project as a JSON file to continue later.

Free. Offline. All data stays on your machine.

Brush Sizes

Press 1, 2, or 3 to switch between brush sizes (small, medium, large).

Mirror Mode

Enable Mirror X (X) or Mirror Y (Y) to draw symmetrically. Every stroke is mirrored across the horizontal or vertical axis — useful for symmetric icons.

Layers

The Layers panel lets you stack artwork on independent layers — add, reorder, toggle visibility, or merge layers. This makes it easy to keep a background, icon body, and detail highlights separate during editing.

Sizes (Multi-size Project)

The Sizes panel lists all icon sizes defined in the project (e.g. 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 256×256). Click any size to jump to that canvas and edit it. The wand button downscales from the largest artwork to fill all smaller sizes automatically.

Sprite Sheet

The Sheet view shows all sizes side by side as a sprite sheet. Click a size thumbnail to jump directly into editing it.

Colour

Preview

The Preview panel shows the icon at actual size. Drag to choose which size is previewed.
