Neural Vector Synthesis for Professional UI/UX Asset Workflows
Ultra-fast, AI-powered design software for UI/UX professionals with native Sketch support and offline capability.
Lunacy by Icons8 is a high-performance, cross-platform vector design application that serves as a direct, high-speed alternative to web-based design tools. Architected for speed using native codebases (C# for Windows, Swift for macOS), it avoids the overhead associated with Electron-based applications, resulting in a significantly lower memory footprint and zero-latency canvas interactions. By 2026, Lunacy has evolved into an AI-first design environment, integrating localized machine learning models that handle asset generation and image processing directly on the user's hardware. Its market position is unique: it provides full compatibility with the .sketch format while operating natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This makes it an essential bridge for cross-platform engineering teams. The software differentiates itself through 'Graphics-as-a-Service,' embedding a massive library of icons, illustrations, and photos directly into the UI, eliminating the need for external asset hunting. Its 2026 trajectory focuses on 'Design-to-Code' automation, allowing for real-time generation of clean XAML and CSS, and robust offline-first collaboration features that ensure data privacy and operational continuity in secure enterprise environments.
On-device machine learning model that detects object edges and masks backgrounds without uploading data to a server.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Deep learning-based super-resolution algorithm that enhances image resolution by 2x or 4x while reconstructing lost pixels.
Native engine capable of reading and writing .sketch files without conversion loss.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) integration that generates placeholder copy (names, addresses, descriptions) based on context.
Advanced constraint and flexbox-based layout system for responsive design components.
WebSocket-based real-time syncing for multi-user editing on cloud documents.
Direct API bridge to Icons8's repository of over 1,000,000 design elements.
Teams using both macOS and Windows struggle to share native Sketch files.
