FlatIconMaker is an efficient and reliable application developed to assist you in designing icons for your software, your web pages or any other similar needs that you may have.

Straight-forward appearance

Subsequent to the installation process, you can launch the program and begin working with it right away, thanks to its approachable and user-friendly interface.
The utility provides you with an online guide to help you understand the functioning principles of FlatIconMaker, featuring animations and explanatory notes.
The main window lets you open the image you wish to use or draw it yourself, while the ‘Tools’, ‘Colors’ and ‘Layers’, three secondary windows, assist you in customizing the design.

Create or edit icons

The application allows you import an image you can use as a basis for our icon, supporting BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIF, WMF and several other formats. Once loaded, you can use the ‘Tools', offered by FlatIconMaker to adjust its appearance.
As such, you can use the ‘Polygon’, ‘Bezier’, ‘Text’, ‘Rectangle’, ‘Ellipse’, ‘Pencil’, ‘Transfer’, ‘Floodfill’, ‘Riper’ or ‘Color Picker’. Similarly, from the ‘Layers’ window, you can add or remove certain layers from your icon.
The ‘Symbols’ tab lets you insert one or more of the available items into your icon design by double-clicking the targeted symbols; you can then customize their look using your mouse cursor as well as the ‘Colors’. Moreover, FlatIconMaker allows you to flip your image horizontally or vertically, also enabling you to rotate it ninety degrees left or right, but you cannot input a preferred angle.

A program you can use to design your own icons

To conclude, FlatIconMaker is an intuitive and fairly simple to handle utility that can prove quite useful in helping you create your own flat icons, saving the images to GIF, PNG, ICO, BMP and other formats, so you can easily use them in your apps.
