App Icons
An app icon is the most-compressed brand asset you will ever ship: one glyph that must sell the product in a store listing at 1024px and stay recognizable in a settings list at 29px. Most app icon failures are size failures — designs that look great in Figma and turn to mush on a home screen.
Generate several candidate marks in one batch so you can compare silhouettes at thumbnail size instead of falling in love at full screen. Filled and flat styles survive scaling best; rendered styles like Soft 3D make strong store-front icons for consumer apps. Once a winner emerges, refine the paths in the studio, then export SVG for your build pipeline and PNG at the platform sizes.
Sizes that matter
| iOS App Store | 1024×1024 PNG, no transparency — Apple generates smaller sizes from this master |
|---|---|
| Android adaptive icon | 108×108dp canvas with the safe zone in the middle 66dp; 512×512 for the Play listing |
| Favicon set | 16, 32, and 48px ICO/PNG plus a 180×180 apple-touch-icon |
| PWA manifest | 192×192 and 512×512 PNG, with a maskable variant padded for round crops |

Frequently asked questions
Should an app icon have a background or be a bare glyph?+
Ship both. iOS composites your icon onto its own rounded rectangle, so you design the full tile; Android adaptive icons separate foreground glyph from background layer. Generating the glyph as a clean SVG lets you place it on any tile color and export both structures from one source.
How do I test whether an app icon works at small sizes?+
Zoom out, not in: view candidates at 48px next to real competitor icons before you refine anything. If you cannot tell yours apart at that size, no amount of detail polish will fix it — pick a stronger silhouette from your generated batch instead.
