**INSTALLATION**
--------------
Simply run the included setup file.

Run the ezIcon Windows app and register your copy at startup with the registration details you received.  The app does not require installation, it is fully self contained.

That's it!  Your now ready to create beautiful icons!

If you want to use the advanced AI features, you need to get a Google Gemini API key, see FAQ.

**FAQ**
-----
Q. Do I need a API key to use this software?
A. Yes and No - You only need a Google Gemini API code if you want to use the API prompt feature, everything else does not require an API key.

Q. Where do I get an API key and is it FREE?
A. To use the AI features, you'll need a 'key' from Google. Think of it like a digital pass that lets our app talk to Google's smart servers. It's free to start! Just go to AI Studio https://aistudio.google.com and click 'Get API Key,' and paste the code inside the Configure API Key area"

Q. Is my API key safe?
A.  Yes!  It's much safer using the Windows App rather than adding it to a remote web page, it is stored in the internal browser stored memory.

Q. Are my projects and images shared or stored remotely?
A.  No Server Storage: User-uploaded images and project configurations are processed entirely in the browser (Local Storage) and are not stored on our servers.

Q. Can I Load and Save my icon project settings? 
A. Only the professional version allows loading and saving projects including automatic project backups when downloading image archives.

Q.  I have an idea for a feature, how can I add it.
A.  Contact me with your suggestion and I will see what we can do.  I actively invite and prioritize user feedback. By submitting your ideas, you directly influence our development cycle, as our most impactful updates are often born from customer requests.

Q. Are you also the owner of Tropicdesigns.net what happened?
A. Yes, I have rebranded with a different web site name that fits better for what I do now. 

Q. How was the Windows App designed?
A.  The app is designed in HTML/Javascript/CSS/Tailwind/React/Node.js then bundled into a Windows app with WebExeBuilder.  See Software Disclaimer for more information.

Q. Where can I find WebExeBuilder?
A. WebExeBuilder is currently in the late stages of development and may be available when you read this, join our exclusive early access list and get WebExeBuilder as soon as it launches. Limited beta spots available!

Preview WebExeBuilder at https://webexebuilder.com
