Quick Start

Generate Single Icons

from icon_gen_ai import IconGenerator

generator = IconGenerator(output_dir="output")

# From URL
generator.generate_icon(
    direct_url='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Claude_AI_symbol.svg',
    output_name='claude_white_mediumslateblue_bg',
    color='white',
    bg_color='mediumslateblue',
    border_radius=0,
    size=256
)

# From Iconify
generator.generate_icon(
    icon_name='simple-icons:googlegemini',
    output_name='gemini_white_deeppink_bg',
    color='white',
    bg_color='deeppink',
    border_radius=128,  # Circle (half of size)
    size=256
)

# From Iconify 
generator.generate_icon(
    icon_name='simple-icons:mistralai',
    output_name='mistral_white_gradient_bg',
    color='white',
    bg_color=('mediumslateblue', 'deeppink'),  # Gradient
    border_radius=48,
    size=256
)

# From Iconify 
generator.generate_icon(
    icon_name='simple-icons:openai',
    output_name='openai_gradient_transparent_bg',
    color=('mediumslateblue', 'deeppink'),  # Gradient icon
    bg_color=None,
    size=256
)

Generate Multiple Icons (Batch)

from icon_gen_ai import IconGenerator

generator = IconGenerator(output_dir="output")

# Generate multiple icons at once
ai_icons = {
    'llama_deepskyblue': 'simple-icons:meta',
    'deepseek_deepskyblue': {
        'local_file': 'input/deepseek-icon.png'
    },
    'nemotron_deepskyblue': {
        'url': 'https://companieslogo.com/img/orig/NVDA-df4c2377.svg'
    },
    'grok_deepskyblue': {
        'url': 'https://unpkg.com/@lobehub/icons-static-svg@latest/icons/grok.svg'
    }
}

generator.generate_batch(ai_icons, color='deepskyblue', size=256, outline_color='deepskyblue', outline_width=8, border_radius=48)

Animation Support

When you apply a solid color to an animated SVG icon, the animations are automatically preserved:

from icon_gen_ai import IconGenerator

generator = IconGenerator(output_dir="output")

color = 'mediumslateblue' 

animated_icons = {
    f'speedometer_loop_{color}': 'line-md:speedometer-loop',
    f'upload_outline_loop_{color}': 'line-md:upload-outline-loop',
    f'my_location_loop_{color}': 'line-md:my-location-loop',
    f'bars_scale_middle_{color}': 'svg-spinners:bars-scale-middle'
}

generator.generate_batch(animated_icons, color=color, size=256, outline_color='springgreen', bg_color='snow', outline_width=8, border_radius=48)

What preserves animations:

• Solid colors
• No color specified (original colors)
• Backgrounds and outlines

What removes animations:

• Gradient colors on the icon itself: color=('deeppink', 'mediumslateblue')

Note: Background gradients don't affect icon animations - only icon color gradients do.

Icon Sources

Three ways to get icons:

1. Iconify (200,000+ icons)

Browse at Iconify
