App Icon Sizes 2026: Every iOS & Android Size (+ Free Generator)

If you're getting ready to ship an app, the icon is one of the last fiddly steps — and one of the most confusing. Apple and Google each want a pile of different sizes, named in specific ways, and getting one wrong can hold up your submission. This guide covers every size you actually need in 2026, and a free way to generate them all in seconds.

The short version

For modern iOS apps, you technically only need a single 1024×1024 PNG — Xcode's asset catalog scales the rest. But plenty of projects (older codebases, manual asset catalogs, cross-platform setups) still need the full set of named files. Android always needs multiple launcher densities plus a 512×512 Play Store icon. So it's worth having the complete set ready.

iOS app icon sizes

These are the pixel sizes that live in Xcode's AppIcon.appiconset. They're defined in "points" with a scale factor (@2x, @3x), but what matters for your files is the final pixel size.

• 1024×1024 — App Store listing (must be fully opaque, no transparency)
• 180×180 — iPhone home screen (60pt @3x)
• 120×120 — iPhone home screen (60pt @2x) and Spotlight (40pt @3x)
• 167×167 — iPad Pro (83.5pt @2x)
• 152×152 — iPad (76pt @2x)
• 87×87 — Settings (29pt @3x)
• 80×80 — Spotlight (40pt @2x)
• 76, 60, 58, 40, 29, 20 — smaller Settings, notification and Spotlight variants

Miss one and Xcode will complain, which is why generating the whole set at once saves a lot of back-and-forth.

Android app icon sizes

Android uses density buckets. Each goes into its own mipmap- folder in your project's res directory, plus a separate Play Store icon.

• 512×512 — Google Play Store listing
• 192×192 — xxxhdpi
• 144×144 — xxhdpi
• 96×96 — xhdpi
• 72×72 — hdpi
• 48×48 — mdpi (baseline)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Rounding the corners yourself. Both stores apply their own corner mask. If you bake in rounded corners, you'll get an ugly double-rounded look. Always supply a full square.
• Transparency in the App Store icon. The 1024×1024 must be fully opaque — Apple rejects icons with an alpha channel. Flatten it onto a solid background first.
• An over-detailed design. Your icon has to read clearly at 40×40. If it turns into a blurry blob when small, simplify it.
• Adding text. The app name already shows under the icon. Text inside it just becomes illegible at small sizes.

Generate every size in one step

Rather than exporting each size by hand in Photoshop or fiddling with naming, you can use our free App Icon Generator. Drop in your 1024×1024 master, pick iOS, Android, or both, and download a ZIP with every size — correctly named, organized into the right folders, and with a Contents.json so the iOS set drags straight into Xcode.

It runs entirely in your browser, so your icon never gets uploaded anywhere. No signup, no watermark, free.

Once your icon's sorted, the next step is your store screenshots — and LaunchShots handles those the same way: free, in your browser, no account needed.
