Free tools

Free mobile app design tools.

30 tools that each do one job properly — colour, assets, layout, typography and the iOS and Android numbers you keep looking up. No sign-up, no watermark, no limits.

Why these free tools exist

Most “free design tools” are lead-gen bait — a limited demo that stops working after two or three uses, one that stamps a watermark across whatever you make, or one that lets you build the thing and then asks for an email before it will let you copy it. These 30 are not that. There is no sign-up wall, no credit system, no watermark and nothing to run out of. Copy it, download it, export the whole set — it all works on your first visit, logged out.

Nearly all of them run entirely in your browser, which is why they are instant and why your screenshots never leave your device. Every configuration you build gets a shareable link, and every generator exports real code for the platform you ship on — CSS, Tailwind, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, React Native and Flutter — with the conversions done properly rather than pasted from the CSS values.

So how is it paid for? A single ad sits at the bottom of each page, below the tool and below the writing — never inside the thing you are working in, never as a pop-up, and never in the way of a copy or download button. Sign in with a free account and it disappears entirely. That is the whole arrangement.

They also share a bias. These are not generic web design utilities with a mobile label bolted on — they are built around the specific problems of shipping a phone app: safe area insets, adaptive icon masking, store screenshot dimensions, dp versus sp, and colour that still reads in direct sunlight.

How to use these tools together

  1. Pull a palette out of a reference image with the colour picker, then verify every text-on-surface pair in the contrast checker and pressure-test it in the colour blindness simulator.
  2. Settle typography with the font pairing tool and the type scale generator, converting sizes as you go with the px to rem converter.
  3. Build the layout with the flexbox and CSS grid generators, then add depth with box shadows and gradients.
  4. Check it against real hardware in the safe area simulator and the device size reference.
  5. Ship the store assets: the app icon generator, the splash screen generator and the App Store screenshot generator, checked against the required store sizes.
