Assemblicon
"Stop clicking 'Export' 50 times. Write a recipe and let Assemblicon do the assembly."
The Programmatic Icon Assembly Workflow. Treat your icons like code. Built for designers who think like engineers.
Philosophy
Assemblicon transforms the traditional design workflow into a compilation-like pipeline:
- Source Code: Binary
jpg,pngimage assets & Inkscape.svgprimitives & Blender.blend3D assets & etc... - Compiler Flags: Interactive CLI parameters (color, style, variant)
- Linker: Python + Pillow (layering & alpha composition)
- Binary Output: Final
.png/.ico/.icnsicon sets
Instead of manually tweaking 100 artboards, you define reusable components once and compile them on-demand with different arguments just like compiling a C program.
Features
- Reproducible Builds: Every output is fully deterministic; store only the recipe, not the PNGs.
- Batch Assembly: Define a recipe to generate entire icon families (light/dark, active/disabled, sizes) in one go.
- Unlimited Customization: User defined recipe is actually a Python script utilizing Assemblicon. We can achieve any forms of composition which gives our unlimited customization ability.
- Selective Build: User can only compile some specific icons of the whole defined icon set. This gives the ability of checking the built icon in resource-saving way.
- License Backtrace: By defining the source and sink for icons, we can trace the license info (if user provide it) and produce the correct license info of final output.
