gw2-class-icons

This repository provides optimized and enhanced Guild Wars 2 (GW2) wiki class icons tailored for use in applications and Discord servers. It collects high-resolution reinterpretations, losslessly optimized assets, and ready-to-use sizes so developers and community maintainers can quickly add crisp class icons to apps, bots, and emoji collections.

Purpose

• Provide a single source of truth for GW2 class icons optimized for different targets (apps, web, Discord).
• Maintain high-quality assets while reducing file size and ensuring transparent backgrounds and consistent naming.

Contents

• wiki/high-res/: brand-new, high-resolution reinterpretations of the existing GW2 wiki icons.
• wiki/optimized/: losslessly optimized and resized versions intended for production use, generated via an enhanced script.
• wiki/raw/: the actual GW2 wiki icons in their original form.

Usage

• These icons are provided as-is for free usage within the bounds of the original rights holders.
• Not intended for monetary use or redistribution.

npm package

npm install gw2-class-icons

const { getIconPath, hasIcon, iconNames, iconSizes } = require("gw2-class-icons");

const guardian40 = getIconPath("Guardian", "40px");
// => "wiki/40px/Guardian.png"

const guardianAbsolute = getIconPath("Guardian", "40px", { absolute: true });
// => "/.../node_modules/gw2-class-icons/wiki/40px/Guardian.png"

const exists = hasIcon("Guardian", "svg");
// => true

Optimization notes

• Images are optimized to preserve visual fidelity while minimizing bytes. Formats include PNG (lossless) and optionally WebP for modern apps.
• Keep transparency intact for overlay use in UIs and messaging apps.

Contributing

• Add new or improved icons to wiki/raw/ or wiki/high-res/ and open a PR with a short description of the source and intended output sizes.
• If you have a bulk optimization script or CI step, include it in the PR so others can reproduce results.
