AppIcon Studio
Design the icon once. Ship every size.
An icon is not one image, it is about forty files with names your project already expects. AppIcon Studio is the workspace where you draw the thing at 1024x1024, find out what it looks like at 16 px, and hand your project the folders it wants.
The size that decides everything is 16 px.
The preview column draws 16, 24, 32, 48, 64 and 128 px at their true pixel size - not thumbnails scaled to look neat. That is the whole point: a glyph that turns to mush in the menu bar looks fine at 1024, and you want to know now. The larger tiles scale to fit, and any tile can be exported on its own.

Restyle what you drew for free, or let the AI draw something new.
Twelve directions, before you commit to one.
Re-imagine redraws your icon as a batch of twelve looks pulled from fifteen style families - liquid, emboss, metal, mesh, glass, mono and the rest - all built from your own artwork's colours, on your machine, for free. Want something new instead? Describe your app in AI Icon and the AI draws complete icon concepts; pick one and Make editable rebuilds it as a background and a separate mark you can keep editing.
Light and dark variants ship inside the same export.
Every mask, and a dark variant.
Switch the canvas between the iOS squircle, a circle, a rounded square and a plain square to see the artwork inside the shape each platform will actually draw. Add a dark variant and it travels with the export instead of becoming a second file you maintain by hand.

The layout of a single export, README included.
Folders your project already expects.
One export writes the iOS and macOS appiconsets, an .icns with Apple's grid baked in, the Android density folders including adaptive and themed icons, the Play Store's opaque 512x512, and the web favicons with a site.webmanifest. A README.txt at the root says which folder goes where, so the handoff is a copy, not a puzzle.
Questions about AppIcon Studio
Which platforms does one export cover?
iOS, macOS, Android and web, in one pass. You get AppIcon.appiconset folders for iOS and macOS, an AppIcon.icns, the Android mipmap density folders with adaptive and themed icons plus the 512x512 Play Store image, and favicons with a site.webmanifest for the web.
How much of AppIcon Studio is AI?
Only AI Icon. The twelve looks are drawn on your machine by the local style engine from your icon's own colours, free and offline. AI Icon runs in the cloud: your description, and your current icon if you choose to include it, go to Peakloom's servers, where an image model draws complete icon concepts. Make editable asks it for the background and the mark on their own, and your machine assembles them into layers. AI Icon uses credits; Use as image and the looks are free.
Does it handle the Android safe zone?
Yes. Adaptive icons get cropped by whatever shape the launcher feels like using, so the canvas shows the safe zone and the export fits your artwork inside it. Themed (monochrome) icons are written too - they need compileSdk 33 or newer in your project.
Do I have to design the icon in Peakloom?
No. Bring a finished design in as an image, or open a .peakloom file and keep editing it. The canvas is a normal Peakloom document with layers, so the badge and border you add here stay editable rather than being burned into a flattened file.
Does it need an internet connection?
Only for AI Icon. Drawing the icon, the twelve looks, the previews at every size and the export folders all happen on your own machine, offline. Nothing about the export ever leaves your computer.
