CandyIcons
CandyIcons is a web app for browsing app icons and generating new ones from descriptions. Users choose colors and styles, then create icons using more than 15 premade styles and over 1,000 presets. Generated output is a 1024×1024 PNG; SVG export is unavailable. The service includes iOS and macOS app icon assets aligned with Apple’s design guidelines, plus free tools for those assets and favicons. A free plan provides 15 generations per month. One-time packs cost $15 as a one-time purchase for 15 credits, $25, paid once for 50 credits, or $45, paid once for 120 credits. Lifetime costs $49, paid once and provides 40 credits per month. Each credit generates one image, and purchased credits do not expire. Batch generation and commercial use are supported. The FAQ says purchased or generated icons carry exclusive ownership and unlimited usage rights, including modification, resale, redistribution, or giving them away. Icons are stored on US servers operated by third-party partners, with private access links sent by email.
