Effect Icon Creation

Are you ready to submit and publish your effect? First, you’ll need a effect icon that visually represents your effect to the public. You can either design a face-based effect icon using Effect Icon Creator, or create your own image separately and upload it as an effect icon. This guide demonstrates both ways of creating an effect icon.

Open Effect Icon Creator

To open Effect Icon Creator, click the Create icon button in the titlebar.

Design Your Own Effect Icon

You can also create your own effect icon separately. This is most applicable to effects that don't necessarily involve a face.

Open Effect Icon Creator and switch to Upload* image. Click the Add button [+] to select a file from your computer.
