Frequently Asked Questions
These answers are grounded in the local IconGenerator documentation and are intended as quick guidance. For full operational details, open the complete help FAQ and browse the icons catalog.
How do I check whether an icon set requires attribution?
Open Licenses -> License Information from the menu, or right-click an icon and choose License Information. The dialog shows summary terms and links to full license text.
Which formats can IconGenerator export?
Vector outputs include SVG, XAML, PDF, EPS, and PS. Bitmap outputs include PNG, BMP, and JPEG. Platform container formats include ICO and ICNS. Image strips and font outputs are also available.
Why are some export formats disabled?
Some formats depend on external tools. PDF/EPS/PS export typically requires Inkscape. Font export requires FontForge.
Can I add overlays and colorize icons?
Yes. Overlays can represent actions/states and can be positioned in four corners. You can colorize base icons and overlays together or separately.
Can IconGenerator create dark mode icon variants?
Yes. Use the Dark Mode Icons toggle in the UI or force dark mode generation in export options when the selected set supports it.
What is the difference between Generated Icons and Collections?
Generated Icons are immediate preview/export results from current selections. Collections (AXICP) are project documents that store curated icon choices with names, IDs, overlay positions, and color settings for repeatable export.
Can I edit icons inside IconGenerator?
IconGenerator does not include a full vector editor. It opens icon copies in an external SVG editor (IconVectors, Inkscape, Illustrator, Affinity, or another configured tool).
Is command line automation available?
Yes. The CLI can generate icon files from AXICP collections and supports output formats, size flags, dark mode, and colorization options.
Can I work offline?
Most day-to-day workflows work offline if data is already installed: browsing available sets, generating files, and working with collections. Internet is required for updates, sign-in, and license synchronization.
How do I activate purchased icon sets?
Sign in with your Axialis account and run Licenses -> Synchronize Licenses, or activate with a license key if your workflow uses key-based activation.
Does IconGenerator run on Windows and macOS?
Yes, local documentation covers both Windows and macOS availability.
