What Glyph is
Glyph generates app icons from plain-English descriptions and converts uploaded artwork into export-ready icon sets. It offers Minimal, Glass, 3D, and Illustrated styles with dark, light, or custom backgrounds, plus style references and batch generation. Structured ZIP exports organize required dimensions for iOS, Android, macOS, visionOS, and web, including favicon and PWA assets; PNG exports are also available. Every generation includes a free 1024px master PNG, and the first generation is free without a payment card. Each later generation uses one credit, credits do not expire, and failed generations are automatically refunded. One-time plans start with Starter at 4.99 USD for 15 credits, Builder at 12.99 USD for 50, and Studio at 29.99 USD for 150; all include full platform export. Users retain ownership of generated icons, licensed for personal and commercial use. Glyph says prompts and generated images may be retained to improve its AI, while generated icons are retained for 30 days.
