Smart Icon Cover

Frequently asked questions

Basics

What does Smart Icon Cover do?

It draws a small icon from each card's title and sets it as the card's cover, so you can find a card on a busy board by sight instead of reading every title.

How long does an icon cover take?

About 15 seconds. Open a card, click Generate Icon Cover in the Smart Icon Cover section, and the icon appears on the card.

Is Smart Icon Cover free?

You can start free: 15 cover credits, once, plus a free list run that covers up to 10 cards on one list. Paid plans start at $3.99 a month and add monthly cover credits and Auto-Gen Board Covers.

What is Auto-Gen Board Covers?

It's what a paid plan's board slots are for. Turn it on for a board and a 1-time batch covers the cards already there, then each new card gets its icon cover about a minute after its title was last edited. Turn it off any time: the covers stay.

Do I need Auto-Gen Board Covers to use Smart Icon Cover?

No. Add Smart Icon Cover to any board and make icon covers card by card, on every plan. Turn Auto-Gen Board Covers on only for the boards where you want covers made for you.

What happens when I rename a card?

Its icon cover stays, so fixing a spelling mistake never uses a credit. If the new title deserves a new icon, click Regenerate on the card.

Do the icons work in dark mode?

Yes. Each icon is a regular Trello cover image with a transparent background, so it looks right in light and dark themes, wherever Trello shows card covers.

Can my team use it together?

Yes, on Team and Business. Everyone on the account shares its cover credits and boards, with three roles: Account-Holder, Manager and Contributor. Account-Holders and Managers invite people with a code and choose which boards the team shares.

Credits and plans

What is a cover credit?

Each icon cover uses 1 cover credit, whether you make it or Auto-Gen Board Covers does, including a regenerated one. Credits belong to your account and work on any board. If making an icon cover fails, the credit is given back.

What are bonus cover credits?

When you first subscribe to a paid plan, you get a one-time bonus of 70 to 1,400 cover credits, depending on the plan, to cover the cards already on your boards. You can use them on any icon cover, on any board.

Do bonus credits expire?

Yes, 60 days after you get them. Monthly credits renew at the start of each monthly period and don't carry over. Each icon cover uses the credits that expire soonest.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes, from the Plans tab in Smart Icon Cover. An upgrade starts at once, and you pay the difference for the rest of the period. A downgrade or a cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for. The icon covers already on your cards stay.

Is annual cheaper?

Yes. Annual plans cost less than twelve monthly payments and come with more boards and more cover credits a month.

Your cards and data

Will Smart Icon Cover replace a cover I chose?

Never without asking first. Smart Icon Cover never deletes cards or changes their text, and Auto-Gen Board Covers skips cards that already have a cover.

Can I undo a 1-time batch?

Yes, for 24 hours after it runs: undo puts back the covers the cards had before.

What access does it need in Trello?

When you authorize it, Smart Icon Cover can read your boards, lists and card titles to choose each icon, and add the icon image to the card as its cover. It also reads your email address, which is used for your account and to give free credits once per person. Your Trello authorization is stored encrypted and never shared.

How do I delete my data?

Open Smart Icon Cover's dashboard in Trello, go to Help and choose Delete My Data, or write to us. Icon covers already on your cards stay there; remove them in Trello if you like.
