Lordicon Platform Update
Speed performance improvement
New feature: Export animation frame to static image
From now you can easily export a specific animation frame as a still image. Pause the player and download icon as PNG or SVG.
An account required to export icons
We have decided to restrict access to Lordicon without requiring users to create an account. During the platform's development, we encountered significant issues with the user experience of our library. After careful consideration, we determined that we could not resolve these issues without saving user preferences on the account level.
By requiring users to create an account, we can now provide a more personalized and streamlined experience for all of our users. This move is part of our commitment to constantly improving the platform and ensuring that our users have the best possible experience.

Lordicon Platform Update
Separate CDN for hosting icons This update dramatically transforms how we host and deliver icons via our CDN server. This means that every time we change something in the core of the Lordicon website, we won’t stop the CDN. This means that all HTML Embedded icons will be broadcasted on our users’ websites without any interruptions. In addition, this new approach serves better-compressed files, which significantly improves the loading speed of the icons, making them much more efficient.
NFT Launch We decided to bring some of our artworks to a web3 space by offering a small collection of NFT collectibles that allow holders to access PRO resources and get unique gifts.
