Iconology is designed to help you generate icons for applications. The tool supports creating icons for multiple platforms, including iOS, MacOS, iMessage, and Apple Watch. The utility comes with a series of presets to make your work easier, yet it allows you to edit the custom presets so the results can better fit your needs.

With a clear-cut and intuitive interface, the application is very easy to use. Loading the source image for icons is done simply by drag-and-drop or by browsing your computer from within the app. Unlike other free similar tools, you don't have restrictions regarding the size of the input image, mainly because Iconology provides handy editing features that let you customize the image for your own needs. Therefore, you have the ability to reduce or enlarge the image scale simply by dragging a slider, set the position of the picture within the icon area, choose a favorite background color if desired, round the corners at a custom level, and adjust the padding area between the icon content and its borders. Unfortunately, the tool doesn't support adding text over the icon image. However, you can enter a prefix to identify the results easier when browsing for generated icons.

To conclude, Iconology offers an easy solution to make original icons for your apps. The chance to edit the input image before generating the icons represents the tool's major asset.
