About SkeuDesign
SkeuDesign generates skeuomorphic, tactile-looking icons and assets with AI, for apps, websites, team pages, greeting cards and presentations. It combines curated, subject-specific icon collections with AI generation from a photo or a text description, for example turning team headshots into stylized portraits or creating source concepts for app icon review.
Output is 1024x1024 PNG files with transparent backgrounds. The dashboard editor lets you mask part of an icon and have AI regenerate just that section. A published Figma plugin and a ChatGPT plugin extend the library: in ChatGPT you can request icons, view previews side by side, gather a matching set and export PNG files. The ChatGPT plugin covers library icons only, while custom generation stays on SkeuDesign itself.
