App Icon Size Chart 2026 - Complete Reference for iOS, Android & Web
Every app icon size you need in 2026: iOS requires a single 1024x1024 px PNG master asset (Xcode 16 auto-generates all 11 device sizes), Android needs a 512x512 px adaptive icon for Google Play plus 108x108 dp adaptive launcher icons, and web apps require 7 favicon/PWA sizes from 16x16 to 512x512 px. This is the definitive size reference for every platform, device, and use case.

Getting icon dimensions wrong causes App Store rejections, blurry launcher icons, and broken favicons. This page lists every required size across iOS, Android, web, and social media so you can export once and ship everywhere.

What Are All the iOS App Icon Sizes in 2026?
iOS requires a single 1024x1024 px master PNG with no transparency or alpha channel. Starting with Xcode 15 and continuing in Xcode 16, Apple auto-generates all required sizes from this one asset. However, you still need to know the exact output sizes for quality checking and manual overrides.

Key iOS Icon Rules
- Format: PNG only, no transparency, no alpha channel, no rounded corners (iOS applies them automatically)
- Color space: sRGB or Display P3
- Layers: Flatten all layers before export
- Single asset workflow: Supply 1024x1024 and let Xcode handle the rest, or override individual sizes if downscaling produces artifacts

How Do I Export All Icon Sizes from One Design?
The fastest approach is to design at 1024x1024 px and use an automated tool to export every required size.
Manual approach (Figma/Sketch):
- Design your icon at 1024x1024 px
- Create export presets for every required size
- Export each size individually
- Manually name and organize files for each platform
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes per platform
AI approach (IconikAI):
- Describe your icon or upload a reference
- AI generates a polished 1024x1024 icon in seconds
- Download pre-formatted exports for iOS, Android, and web
- Estimated time: Under 2 minutes for all platforms
Generate your app icon with IconikAI and skip the manual export grind.

What Are Common Icon Size Mistakes That Cause App Store Rejections?
These are the 5 most common icon-related reasons apps get rejected during review:
- Including an alpha channel on iOS. Apple rejects any icon PNG with transparency. Use a solid background.
- Wrong dimensions. Submitting 1023x1024 or any non-square size causes an instant rejection.
- Rounded corners baked in. Both iOS and macOS apply their own corner mask. If you bake corners into your PNG, you get double rounding.
- Exceeding file size limits. Google Play enforces a 1 MB limit on the 512x512 icon. Optimize your PNG.
- Mismatched icons. Apple requires the App Store icon to visually match the in-app icon. Submitting a different design triggers a rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard app icon size for iPhone in 2026?
The standard iPhone app icon size in 2026 is 180x180 px (@3x) for modern iPhones and 120x120 px (@2x) for iPhone SE. You submit a single 1024x1024 px master asset, and Xcode 16 generates all device sizes automatically.
What size should an Android app icon be?
An Android app icon should be 512x512 px for the Google Play Store listing and 108x108 dp (432x432 px at XXXHDPI) for the adaptive icon canvas. Keep critical artwork within the inner 72x72 dp safe zone to prevent cropping on different device manufacturers.
What is the difference between adaptive and legacy Android icons?
Adaptive icons (Android 8.0+) use two separate layers -- a foreground and background -- that the OS can mask into different shapes (circle, squircle, rounded square). Legacy icons are single flat images at 48x48 dp. All modern Android apps should use adaptive icons.
What favicon sizes do I need for a website in 2026?
At minimum, you need 16x16 px (browser tab), 32x32 px (high-DPI tabs), 180x180 px (Apple Touch Icon), and 192x192 px + 512x512 px (PWA manifest). For full Windows support, add 70x70, 150x150, 310x150, and 310x310 px tiles.
Can I use one icon file for all platforms?
No. iOS requires PNG with no transparency, Android requires adaptive icon layers (foreground + background), and web needs multiple sizes in PNG format plus an ICO file for legacy browser support. Start with a 1024x1024 master design and export platform-specific versions.
What happens if my app icon has the wrong size?
Wrong icon sizes cause App Store or Play Store submission rejections, blurry icons on device home screens, missing icons in search results, and broken favicons on websites. Always verify dimensions before submitting.
