Art Icon Creator
Purpose
Convert images into artistic icon variations suitable for branding, UI design, or artistic purposes. Generate 10 distinct artistic variations of an image as compressed, greyscale, high-contrast icons—from simple black & white to poster effects to comic book styles.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Creating icon variations from a single source image
- Needing multiple artistic interpretations of the same image
- Preparing images for icon sets or UI design systems
- Converting any image to greyscale, posterized, high-contrast artwork
- The source is a URL or local file path
Quick Start
Execute the script with an image source (URL or local file):
python scripts/create_art_icons.py "https://example.com/image.jpg"
Or with a local file:
python scripts/create_art_icons.py "/path/to/image.png"
Output files are created in the same directory as the source (or current directory for URLs) with naming pattern:
<original-name>_art_icon_01.png through <original-name>_art_icon_10.png
Output Display
The script displays:
- JSON results with all file information (names, sizes, styles)
- Output directory - absolute path where files were saved
- Absolute paths - complete file paths for each generated icon
