Simply intuitive.


The Icon is the face of your application, which makes it a primary marketing asset. Creating great Icons requires to experiment and iterate until the ideal fit is found. Use the freehand tool, vector shapes or images to try out the look and feel of your Icon ideas in no time, and see the results in different sizes. You have access to the same tools as when you create a Mockup. As you may have noticed, there is no “i” button; all of an object’s properties appear at the bottom of the screen to give you as much space as possible so you can concentrate on the mockup and not be distracted by the interface itself.

512×512 Canvas

The canvas to create Icons has been carefully thought out. It’s based on Apple’s best practices recommendations; the 512×512 canvas is the standard definition that should be used when designing iPhone and iPad App Icons. Thanks to the corner radius, you see what portion of an Icon is going to be cropped on the device, straightaway, as you’re making it. Spending time here can considerably increase your chances of success.
