Read the guideQuestions
- What size does a Yoto track icon need to be?
- 16 by 16 pixels. Yoto recommends a PNG with a transparent background, and that is what this tool exports.
- How many icons do I need?
- One per track if you want each track to look different. Add an icon for every track in the row under the grid, then download them all as one ZIP, numbered in order.
- Can I use a photo or an emoji?
- Yes. Both are shrunk to 16 by 16, so simple, high-contrast pictures work best. Tick "Use the 16 palette colors" for a cleaner result, then tidy it up by hand.
- Is my drawing uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything happens in your browser. Your icons are remembered on this device only.
- Are the starter icons free?
- Yes, for your own family's cards. Change them however you like.
- Does it work on a phone or tablet?
- Yes. Drag your finger across the grid to draw.
