Editing Tools

Post-processing tools to perfect your icons. Most editing operations are free. Smart Background Removal costs 1 token.

Recolor

Change the color of your generated icon after creation.

  1. Click the recolor button (paint drop icon) in the toolbar below your icon
  2. Choose a color from the palette or enter a hex code
  3. Click "Apply" to update the icon

Note: Recoloring works best on monochrome icons. Complex gradients or multi-colored icons may not recolor as expected.

Adjust Thickness

Adjust the line weight of your icons. Especially useful for Line Art and Outline styles.

1

Open Thickness Control

Click the thickness button in the toolbar.

2

Adjust the Slider

Move left (thinner, -10) or right (thicker, +10) to adjust line weight.

3

Apply

Click "Apply Thickness" to update the icon.

Smooth / Sharpen Edges

Reduce jagged edges or sharpen soft edges for a cleaner look.

  • Use the slider from -10 (sharpen) to +10 (smooth)
  • Negative values sharpen edges for a crisper look
  • Positive values smooth them for a softer appearance

Tip: A smoothing value of 2-4 works well for most icons. Use -2 to -4 to sharpen blurry or soft edges.

Crop & Recenter

Removes empty space from the edges and centers the content on the canvas.

  • Adjust the crop percentage (0-50%) using the slider
  • The crop is applied equally from all edges
  • Content is automatically recentered after cropping

Warning: Be careful with high crop percentages as you may accidentally cut off parts of your icon.

Remove Background

Opens a modal with a strength slider to remove white/light backgrounds from your icon. Free (0 tokens).

  1. Click the Remove Background button in the toolbar (or press G)
  2. Use the slider to set strength (1–10). Higher values remove more background.
  3. Click "Apply" to process.

Smart Remove Background

For more precise results, use the Smart Remove button in the same modal. This uses AI-powered background removal for cleaner edges. Costs 1 token per use.

Flood Fill

Click on any area to make similarly-colored connected pixels transparent. Great for targeted background removal.

How to Use

  1. Click the flood fill button in the toolbar (or press B)
  2. Your cursor changes to a crosshair
  3. Click on the area you want to make transparent
  4. All connected pixels with a similar color are removed

Adjusting Tolerance

Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and scroll the mouse wheel while hovering over the icon to adjust tolerance from 5 (very precise) to 255 (broad). A tolerance indicator appears in the corner showing the current value.

Spot Eraser

A brush tool that makes pixels transparent as you drag over them. Perfect for cleaning up small artifacts or stray pixels.

  1. Click the eraser button in the toolbar
  2. A circular cursor shows the brush size
  3. Click and drag over the pixels you want to erase

Adjusting Brush Size

Hold Ctrl (or Cmd) and scroll the mouse wheel while hovering over the icon to resize the brush (2-50 pixels).

Tip: Use a smaller brush for precise cleanup around edges, and a larger brush for clearing bigger areas.

Revert & Undo

Undo (Ctrl+Z)

Press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to step back through your editing history. Works across all tools. Up to 20 undo steps per session.

Revert to Original

Click the revert button to restore the icon to its original, unedited state. This discards all changes and clears the undo history.

Generation History

Your recently generated icons are saved in a local history panel (up to 20 entries). Each entry can store up to 5 edit sub-states, accessible via the expand arrow. Click any sub-state to restore the icon to that point.
