AI design generator free of mismatched graphics

Generated graphics often do not match each other. The Icons8 server pulls from a catalog of icons and illustrations instead.

133 icon styles

Colour or monochrome packs, each drawn at its own size. Find the exact pack for your AI web design project

347 illustration styles

Add character to your layouts. Replace a screenshot AI placeholder with a real scene

One style per project

The skills lock your choice in icons8.json and ouch.json, so results stay consistent between requests

What your AI website designer can build

Real assets make an AI design look finished. Ask your agent to assemble interfaces with matching graphics from the Icons8 catalog.
