Atlas Icon Generator

Create polished inventory and item icons directly inside Unreal Engine—without leaving the editor.

Atlas Icon Generator is a professional Unreal Editor plugin built for developers who need a faster, cleaner way to create consistent icons for weapons, tools, resources, food, equipment, buildings, and other gameplay items.

Instead of manually arranging screenshots, exporting images, editing backgrounds, importing textures, and updating Data Tables one row at a time, Atlas Icon Generator brings the entire workflow into a dedicated editor window.

Select a Data Table, choose an item, position the mesh in the live preview, fine-tune the camera, select your lighting and background, and capture a finished icon in seconds.

Built for large projects

Atlas Icon Generator is especially useful for survival games, RPGs, shooters, crafting games, open-world games, and any project with a large inventory system.

It can dramatically reduce the time required to create icons for:

• Weapons
• Ammunition
• Tools
• Resources
• Food
• Medical items
• Clothing
• Armor
• Equipment
• Building pieces
• Crafting components
• Quest items
• Collectibles

Why use Atlas Icon Generator? Traditional icon creation often requires several separate steps:

• Open or place the asset
• Position a camera
• Set up lighting
• Capture a screenshot
• Remove the background
• Resize the image
• Import the texture
• Assign it to the correct item row

Atlas Icon Generator combines that workflow into one editor tool, helping you create consistent icons faster while keeping your project organized.

Engine support Designed for Unreal Engine 5.7 and 5.8 source builds.

Each engine version should compile the plugin from source so the correct binaries are generated for that version.

Ideal for

• Solo developers
• Indie studios
• Marketplace asset creators
• Survival game developers
• RPG developers
• Inventory-heavy projects
• Teams managing large Data Tables
• Developers who want consistent item presentation without external image-editing software
• Product summary

Atlas Icon Generator turns icon creation into a fast, repeatable Unreal Editor workflow. Select an item, frame the mesh, choose the visual style, and capture a ready-to-use icon-all without leaving the editor.
