Pichon by Icons8
Pichon by Icons8 is a macOS graphics app for browsing, organizing, and dragging icons, illustrations, and photos into design work.
What is Pichon by Icons8?
Pichon by Icons8 is a native macOS graphics and design app that gives users a large library of icons, illustrations, and photos in one desktop workspace. It is aimed at designers, product teams, developers, and other users who regularly need visual assets for mockups, presentations, websites, documents, and creative projects. The app supports keyword search along with browsing by category and style, so it is built for quickly finding assets without leaving your current workflow. Users can drag images directly into design and editing apps, keep personal image collections inside the app, and organize imported assets for later reuse. Pichon also supports offline access for its built-in library, which is useful when you want assets available locally on your Mac. Visualpharm publishes the product under the Icons8 brand.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Pichon is a legitimate design asset app for macOS. It normally accesses the network to browse, download, and sync graphics, and it may collect basic usage, identifier, and diagnostic data as part of normal app operation. That kind of access is expected for an asset library and sync-based workflow. If you use it to store your own images or sign in to an account, review what you upload and keep only the content you want available through the app.
Recommendation: Keep Pichon if you use Icons8 assets or want a desktop library for design resources and your own image collections. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually fine, but you may lose local downloads, saved collections, and convenience features tied to your workflow.
