Typify App

Typify App

Typify is an app we created that makes it easy to make custom icons for your address book, Gmail, Twitter, Slack, Instagram, Zoom, and other online identities. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, a kadrillion emoji, thousands of stock images, and an endless supply of your own library shots, but there is only one you.

We designed the app to be as simple and streamlined as possible—users simply choose their letter (or emoji!), font, color, and background, then upload to social. Bonus features include a preview at the top allows you to check for legibility at small sizes, and the dice button allows you to quickly create randomly-generated type and color combos.

As one reviewer on our App Store page said, “Fun to be able have something other than a photo. I never noticed all the default gray heads there are. My social profile feels special. Nice tool for personal branding.” We couldn’t agree more, and actually wrote an article on the topic.

In addition to adding personality to your social channels, small businesses and corporate teams can use Typify to create the perfect profile images for literally any channel you can think of. The Elixir team use our icons to create a branded, unified look on email, Slack, and Zoom.

And because we are a branding firm, we naturally had to create an identity and microsite to round out the app.

Typify is free in the App Store—we hope you check it out and enjoy. Happy typify-ing!
