How this template works
Image Studio paints each item as a square inventory icon in the style you pick. Keep the same style and your potions, swords and keys will match.
1Open Image StudioStep 1 · Image StudioPaint the icon
Image Studio draws one item large and centered with a bold outline on a plain background, sized for inventory slots and shops.

Tips for the best result
- Describe one item: "a rusty iron key", "a red health potion".
- Add one detail that makes it special: glowing, cracked, golden.
- Pixel art works best for simple items.
Do it yourself for more control
- Remove the background in Image Studio for transparent PNG icons.
- Turn an icon into a 3D pickup with the RPG Loot & Items template.
- Make a whole set in one sitting with the same style for a consistent UI.
Good to know
Icons are square PNGs on a plain background; they aren't vector files.

My idea: A glowing blue mana potion
Style: Hand-painted
Rarity: Common
Follow these steps in order. The prompts and settings are the template's own, so use them word for word and only put my idea where it says {MY IDEA}.
1. Paint the icon
Call generate_image_nano_2_1 with aspect_ratio "1:1", resolution "1K", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
Item: {MY IDEA}. Style: hand-painted fantasy RPG icon, painterly brush strokes, warm rim light and rich saturated colours. One single game inventory icon: the item shown large and centered at a slight angle, a bold readable silhouette with a clean dark outline, filling most of a square frame with a small even margin, no background scene, no frame or slot border, no text. Plain flat light grey (#E6E6E6) background.
"""
If I want to start from a sketch or reference image instead, call upload_image so I can hand it over, then call edit_image_gpt with the upload in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt:
"""
Turn the item in the reference image into a game inventory icon, keeping its shape and colours. Style: hand-painted fantasy RPG icon, painterly brush strokes, warm rim light and rich saturated colours. One single game inventory icon: the item shown large and centered at a slight angle, a bold readable silhouette with a clean dark outline, filling most of a square frame with a small even margin, no background scene, no frame or slot border, no text. Plain flat light grey (#E6E6E6) background.
