Text to Icons

Type a line of text and turn every character into a uniformly styled icon. 100% local processing.

A line of text as a set of uniformly styled icons, or a few keywords as a matching set of images. This tool renders each character as its own icon with consistent styling, then exports them as PNGs.

Features

One icon per character

Type a line of text and every character becomes a separate icon. Chinese, English and emoji are all supported.

Size and font control

Icon size, corner radius, text size and text colour are all settable, so a whole set stays consistent.

Three background types

Transparent, solid colour with adjustable opacity, or a gradient with start and end colours and an angle.

Custom background image

Upload your own image as the background, or clear it back to a solid colour or gradient.

Batch PNG export

Preview items are numbered; download one or all of them.

FAQ

Does every Chinese character get its own icon?

Yes. Chinese, English and emoji are each rendered character by character, with no merging.

Is there a character limit?

Yes, 50 characters maximum. Split larger batches across several runs.

Is PNG the only export format?

Yes, PNG only. Convert afterwards if you need another format.

Can I use my own background image?

Yes, upload a local image as the background. Clear it whenever you want to go back to a solid or gradient background.
