Generating an icon

Start by providing Aria with your business name and business description. Aria will suggest color palettes, shapes, and a set of icon concepts that fit your vibe and industry.

To generate an icon:

Desktop browser

Wixel app

Go to your project in Wixel.
Ask Aria to create an icon and share your brand name with a description of the business. For example, "Create an icon for a shopping cart for an e-commerce site".
Browse the set of AI-generated icons and select the option you want to use.
Tip: Click Regenerate to get more options.

Prefer to design your icon manually?

You can start with a blank frame or choose a pre-designed template. Click Add Design in your project and search for icons in the search bar.

Customizing your icon

Make the icon your own by fine-tuning the details. Change the colors, corners and outline.

To customize your icon:

Desktop browser

Wixel app

Go to your project in Wixel.
Click the relevant icon in your project.
Tip: Use the AI Breakdown panel to work on each aspect of the icon separately, and try AI-powered suggestions to enhance your design.
