IconKitchen

IconKitchen is a free, browser-based tool for creating app icons. You use it to build icons for Android, iOS, and the web by stacking different visual elements in layers. The interface lets you add a background, choose from hundreds of Material Design symbols as a base layer, and then overlay text or your own images. You can adjust the style of each element, like making it filled or outlined, and see a live preview for each platform as you work.

What makes IconKitchen stand out is its focus on simplicity and specificity. It doesn't try to be a full graphic design suite. Instead, it provides all the common components needed for a standard app icon—backgrounds, standard iconography, and text—and makes them easy to combine. The tool handles the technical sizing and formatting requirements for different platforms, so you get ready-to-use icon files with one click.

This tool is most useful for developers and designers who need to create or prototype app icons quickly. If you're building a mobile app or a Progressive Web App and need all the various icon sizes, IconKitchen streamlines that process. It's also handy for hobbyists or students working on a project who want a professional-looking icon without learning complex design software.
