Free App Icon Generator: Export All iOS & Android Icon Sizes Instantly
The Pain of Generating App Icon Sizes Manually
Every mobile developer knows the tedium: you've designed a beautiful app icon in Figma or Photoshop, and now you need to export it in 14+ different sizes for iOS and Android. Apple requires 8 sizes (from 1024×1024 for the App Store down to 40×40 for notifications). Android requires 6 sizes (from 512×512 for the Play Store down to 48×48 for MDPI screens).
Manually resizing in Photoshop or Figma means creating separate artboards, exporting each one, naming them correctly, and organizing them into the right folder structure. It's repetitive, error-prone, and wastes time you could spend building features.
Generate All Icon Sizes from One Image
Our free App Icon Generator solves this in one click. Upload a single source image and the tool generates every required size for both platforms instantly.
Step 1: Upload your icon. Use a square image (1024×1024 or larger recommended). If your image isn't square, the tool automatically center-crops it.
Step 2: Choose your platform. Select iOS, Android, or All Sizes to generate icons for both platforms simultaneously.
Step 3: Click Generate. All icon sizes are rendered with high-quality bicubic interpolation, ensuring crisp edges at every dimension.
Step 4: Download each size individually, or use Download All to grab everything at once.
iOS App Icon Sizes — Complete Reference
Here's every icon size Apple requires for iOS apps in 2025:
1024×1024 — App Store listing (required for submission)
180×180 — iPhone home screen (@3x, iPhone X and later)
120×120 — iPhone home screen (@2x, older iPhones)
167×167 — iPad Pro home screen
152×152 — iPad home screen
80×80 — Spotlight search results
58×58 — Settings app
40×40 — Notification center
When you add your icons to Xcode, they go in the Assets.xcassets folder. Our exported file names (icon-1024x1024.png, icon-180x180.png, etc.) map directly to Xcode's required naming.
Android App Icon Sizes — Complete Reference
Android uses density-independent pixel (dp) buckets. Here are the required sizes:
512×512 — Google Play Store listing
192×192 — XXXHDPI (4x density, flagship phones)
144×144 — XXHDPI (3x density)
96×96 — XHDPI (2x density)
72×72 — HDPI (1.5x density)
48×48 — MDPI (baseline density)
For Android Studio, place icons in the res/mipmap-* directories corresponding to each density bucket.
Icon Design Best Practices for Mobile
Square with rounded corners: iOS automatically applies corner radius masking, so design your icon as a full square. Android applies adaptive icon masking, so keep important elements within the safe zone (center 66% of the icon).
Keep it simple: Your icon appears as small as 40×40 pixels. Complex details, gradients with many stops, and thin lines will become indistinguishable blobs at small sizes. Test your design at 48×48 before finalizing.
Avoid text in icons: Text in app icons is nearly illegible at small sizes and doesn't localize. Use imagery and color to communicate your app's purpose.
Use a distinct silhouette: The best icons are recognizable by their shape alone. Instagram (camera), Spotify (sound waves), and Slack (hashtag) all have instantly recognizable silhouettes.
Pair with Your Complete App Store Toolkit
Generating icons is one part of preparing your app for launch. Use our companion tools to complete your store listing:
If you need to resize your icon source image or crop it to square before generating, our image tools can help:
Resize images to exact dimensions →
Crop images to square aspect ratio →
100% Browser-Based, Zero Server Uploads
Your app icon is your brand identity — it shouldn't be uploaded to third-party servers. Our tool processes everything locally using the Canvas API. Your icon design stays on your device, period.
This is especially important for developers working with clients under NDA or preparing icons for apps that haven't been announced yet. Privacy-first processing means zero risk.

Can I generate iOS and Android icons at the same time?
Yes. Select 'All Sizes' to generate all 14 sizes for both platforms in one batch. You can also filter to iOS-only or Android-only if you only need icons for one platform.
What image format should my source icon be?
