Iconion is a specialized, easy-to-use utility designed to convert vector icon fonts into fully customized, crisp PNG, JPG, or ICO images. It allows designers and web developers to take scalable glyphs from libraries like Font Awesome, Entypo, Linecons, and Typeicons and apply graphical styles that standard CSS cannot easily achieve alone.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to convert your vector icon fonts using the desktop software: Step 1: Choose Your Base Vector Icons Open the Iconion desktop software on Windows or Mac.
Browse through the left-hand dashboard panel to select a pre-loaded vector font theme. Click on the specific icon glyphs you want to convert.
The chosen shapes will instantly populate your “Selected Icons” tray. Step 2: Customize and Add Styles
Navigate to the Add Style section on the right side of the interface. Select from over 30 built-in design templates.
Adjust individual parameters under the “Icon” or “Background” tabs.
Graphic Enhancements: You can freely apply linear or radial gradients, borders, shadows, background shapes, glow effects, or even rotate the vector canvas. Step 3: Configure Output Sizes and Formats
Click on the Save Icon button once you are happy with the preview. A export configuration window will open.
Select PNG: Choose PNG as your final format to preserve clean alpha transparency.
Define Dimensions: Because the source files are infinitely scalable vectors, you can export them at standard pixel sizes (like 16×16, 32×32, 128×128) or type in an entirely custom dimension without losing sharpness. Step 4: Export Your New Asset Pick your destination output directory folder.
Confirm the action to instantly batch-convert and save your custom transparent PNG images. If you would like to expand your workflow, let me know:
