How to set a faction (guild) icon in Perfect World

  1. Design your icon above — upload an image or draw one with the pixel editor.
  2. Click Download to get a 16×16 24-bit BMP.
  3. On official servers, submit the BMP to support / a GM for approval. On private servers, upload it as faction leader (in-client or via the game folder).
  4. Once approved or applied, the icon appears next to your faction name.

Only the faction (guild) leader can change the icon, and the exact process varies between Perfect World International and private servers.

About Perfect World faction icons

In Perfect World, guilds are called factions, and the faction icon is the small 16×16 badge shown beside your faction name and members. It's how other players recognise your faction during Territory Wars, world bosses and the crowded hubs of Archosaur — so a clean, instantly-readable mark matters more than detail at this size.

The game is strict about the file: it must be exactly 16×16 pixels and a 24-bit RGB .bmp. Build the design as a full square; if your server supports transparency it expects a correct alpha channel (a 32-bit BMP), but the safe, universally-accepted format is the solid 24-bit BMP this tool produces. Submission differs by server — official Perfect World typically reviews submitted icons, while many private servers let the faction leader upload directly.

Design tips for PW icons. At 16×16, simplicity wins. Pick two or three high-contrast colors and one strong shape — a beast head, a blade, a sigil, or a tight one- or two-letter monogram. Photographs, gradients and small lettering dissolve at this size. Because the badge sits against many different UI panels, check it on the dark and light preview swatches above so it stays legible everywhere, and run Enhance to reduce the palette and crisp the edges before exporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exactly 16×16 pixels, saved as a 24-bit RGB BMP. The game rejects other sizes or color depths, so this tool always outputs that format.

Perfect World calls guilds factions, so the "guild icon" and "faction icon" are the same thing — a 16×16 BMP shown next to your faction's name. This tool makes either one.

The base requirement is a solid 24-bit BMP, so design your icon to read as a complete 16×16 square. Some servers accept a 32-bit BMP with an alpha channel for transparency — check your server's rules if you need a cut-out.

It depends on the server. Official Perfect World often requires submitting the BMP to support/a GM for approval; many private servers let the faction leader upload it directly in-client or via a game folder. Either way, only the faction (guild) leader can set it.

Sixteen pixels is tiny. Bold single symbols — a beast, a blade, a sigil, or a one- or two-letter monogram — read far better than photos or fine text. Use Enhance to reduce colors and sharpen edges after shrinking a larger logo.

Beside your faction's name and members, in the faction window and member lists, and wherever the faction is shown to other players — so it's your faction's identity badge across the world.

No. The whole tool runs locally in your browser with HTML5 Canvas; your picture never leaves your device — safer than the random icon packs shared on old fan sites.

The built-in gallery is tuned for 16×16. For more, game-icons.net has 4,000+ CC BY 3.0 icons (beasts, blades, sigils that suit PW), SVG Repo has a large CC0 catalogue, and OpenClipart is public domain. Pick a bold silhouette, drop it in, and run Enhance.
