Yoto Icon Maker

Create a 16×16 PNG to upload in the Yoto Make Your Own playlist editor.

Yoto custom icons are normally selected in the Yoto Make Your Own playlist editor. This tool creates the 16×16 PNG you can upload there. Embedded MP3 artwork is optional and may not appear as the Yoto player icon.

Create Yoto-ready icon

Image Crop mode Background Color mode Avoid pure black (use dark gray on the Yoto display)

Optional: embed artwork into an MP3 file

For general audio metadata. Yoto may still require uploading the 16×16 icon separately.

MP3 file (optional)

Leave empty to only generate the Yoto-ready PNG. Requires ffmpeg on the server.

Text prompt (coming later) Describe an icon

Prompt-based icons may be added when an image API is configured.

How to make a good Yoto icon

Simple shapes work best.
High contrast works better than detailed images.
16×16 is very small — remove tiny details.
Transparent background is usually best.
Avoid pure black if it disappears on the player.
Yoto track icons are chosen in the playlist editor; MP3 cover art is separate and may not show on the player.
