## Product facts

- New accounts receive 2 credits; no credit card is required to start.
- Credits are sold as pay-as-you-go packs and purchased credits do not expire.
- The generator currently offers 7 visual styles.
- Users can generate an icon concept, refine it in the workbench, preview platform usage, and export platform-specific assets.
- iOS export can produce an Xcode-ready `AppIcon.appiconset` folder with PNG assets and `Contents.json`.
- Android export can produce launcher icon density assets. A complete adaptive icon export requires a separated foreground layer; after background separation, the export can include foreground, background, and XML resources for Android Studio.
- Web/PWA export includes common favicon, apple-touch-icon, and manifest icon sizes.
