APPLORE is a one-stop resource and tool platform centered on app icon design, with its core made up of a real app icon library and several AI-assisted tools.
Purpose It primarily serves developers, designers, and product teams who need to design or optimize app icons: on one hand, it helps users research the icon design directions of competitors and peers, and on the other hand, it provides a complete production workflow from inspiration, generation, and preview to export.
Main capabilities
- Icon library: featuring 18,500+ real app icons from the App Store and Google Play, automatically updated every day with new apps and new icons. Browse by App Store category (social, productivity, photo, health, finance, etc.); filter by dominant color; browse by styles such as flat, glass, 3D, gradient, and line; view apps that use a single letter as their icon (sorted A to Z); and view the latest icons by release date. Every past revision of each icon has an archived record.
- Search: supports AI-powered icon search using natural language.
- AI icon generator: describe your app, choose reference icons or a style, and generate usable icons in seconds. Each generation costs 5-15 credits, and failed generations automatically refund credits.
- SVG vector logo: AI redraws your image into a clean vector with fewer anchor points that stays clear at any size; you can also convert PNG to SVG for free in the browser.
- AI Logo animation: an AI motion designer analyzes your logo and animates it, downloadable as Lottie for your app splash screen or as SVG animation for your website.
- Export pack: convert one image into all sizes required for iOS, macOS, Android, and the web and package them.
- Device preview: view icon effects on the iPhone or Android home screen and on store pages, close to a real scenario.
- AI app naming: when you do not yet have a name, describe the app's features, and AI will suggest names and check whether an app with the same name already exists.
- Curated store screenshots: store listing screenshots hand-picked from 4,400 apps, which you can swipe through as a full set, including videos.
- Icon evolution viewing: keeps every revision of each icon, for example 3 versions of a certain app icon.
How to use Users can first browse the icon library, search, use device previews, and use the quick export pack for free. After registering, they receive 50 credits, enough to generate about 10 AI icons, for trying the AI tools. If they need more credits or the full library, they can choose the Pro or Max subRead, or pay a one-time fee to become a Founder. To use AI icon generation, describe the app's features and select a reference icon or style.
Use cases
- Before designing an icon for a new app, research the design directions, color schemes, and style trends of similar apps.
- Need to quickly produce icon sketches or finished icons and directly export sizes for multiple platforms.
- Have an existing bitmap logo and want to convert it to vector or create an animation.
- The app has not yet been named and needs naming suggestions and a check for duplicate names.
Limitations The icons and logos in the icon library belong to their respective owners and are for browsing and reference only; only icons generated through AI can be used for your own product. The App Store requires a 1024×1024 icon (iOS will scale it to various sizes), Google Play requires a 512×512 store icon, and Android also uses adaptive icons with separate foreground and background layers; the export package can generate all sizes needed for iOS, macOS, Android, and the web at once. AI icon generation costs 5–15 credits each time, and credits are automatically refunded on failure. The platform checks new apps and apps that change their icons daily; new icons are added to the library, and old versions are kept in the icon history. Other details are not yet provided.
