Apple app icons all sizes
In iOS 13 or later, prefer using SF Symbols to represent tasks and types of content in your app. If your app is running in iOS 12 or earlier, follow the guidance below.
The system provides built-in icons that represent common tasks and types of content in a variety of use cases.
In apps running iOS 12 and earlier, it’s a good idea to use these built-in icons as much as possible because they’re familiar to people.
Use system icons as intended. Every system-provided image has a specific, well-known meaning. To avoid confusing users, it’s essential that each image be used in accordance with its meaning and recommended usage.
Provide alternative text labels for icons. Alternative text labels aren’t visible onscreen, but they let VoiceOver audibly describe what’s onscreen, making navigation easier for people with visual disabilities.
Design a custom icon if you can’t find a system-provided one that meets your needs. It’s better to design your own than to misuse a system-provided image. See Glyphs.
Navigation Bar and Toolbar Icons
Use the following icons in navigation bars and toolbars. For developer guidance, see UIBarButtonSystemItem.
TIP You can use text instead of icons to represent items in a navigation bar or toolbar. For example, Calendar uses “Today,” “Calendars,” and “Inbox” in the toolbar. You can also use a fixed space element to provide padding between navigation and toolbar icons.

The coordinate system iOS uses to place content onscreen is based on measurements in points, which map to pixels in the display. A standard-resolution display has a 1:1 pixel density (or @1x), where one pixel is equal to one point. High-resolution displays have a higher pixel density, offering a scale factor of 2.0 or 3.0 (referred to as @2x and @3x). As a result, high-resolution displays demand images with more pixels.
For example, suppose you have a standard resolution (@1x) image that’s 100px × 100px. The @2x version of this image would be 200px × 200px, and the @3x version would be 300px × 300px.
Supply high-resolution images for all artwork in your app, for all devices your app supports. Depending on the device, you accomplish this by multiplying the number of pixels in each image by a specific scale factor.
| Device | Scale Factor |
|---|---|
| 12.9″ iPad Pro | @2x |
| 11″ iPad Pro | @2x |
| 10.5″ iPad Pro | @2x |
| 9.7″ iPad | @2x |
| 7.9″ iPad mini 4 | @2x |
| iPhone X S Max | @3x |
| iPhone X S | @3x |
| iPhone X R | @2x |
| iPhone X | @3x |
| iPhone 8 Plus | @3x |
| iPhone 8 | @2x |
| iPhone 7 Plus | @3x |
| iPhone 7 | @2x |
| iPhone 6s Plus | @3x |
| iPhone 6s | @2x |
| iPhone SE | @2x |
Designing High-Resolution Artwork
Use an 8px-by-8px grid. A grid keeps lines sharp and ensures that content is as crisp as possible at all sizes, requiring less retouching and sharpening. Snap the image boundaries to the grid to minimize half pixels and blurry details that can occur when scaling down.
Produce artwork in the appropriate format. In general, use de-interlaced PNG files for bitmap/raster artwork. PNG supports transparency and, because it’s lossless, compression artifacts don’t blur important details or alter colors. It’s a good choice for intricate artwork that requires effects like shading, textures, and highlights. Use JPEG for photos. Its compression algorithm usually produces smaller sizes than lossless formats and artifacts are harder to discern in photos. Photo-realistic app icons, however, look best as PNGs. Use PDF for glyphs and other flat, vector artwork that requires high-resolution scaling.
Use the 8-bit color palette for PNG graphics that don’t require full 24-bit color. Using an 8-bit color palette reduces file size without reducing image quality. This palette is not appropriate for photos.
Optimize JPEG files to find a balance between size and quality. Most JPEG files can be compressed without noticeable degradation of the resulting image. Even a small amount of compression can save significant disk space. Experiment with compression settings on each image to find the optimal value that yields an acceptable result.
Provide alternative text labels for images and icons. Alternative text labels aren’t visible onscreen, but they let VoiceOver audibly describe what’s onscreen, making navigation easier for people with visual disabilities.

Every app needs a beautiful and memorable icon that attracts attention in the App Store and stands out on the Home screen. Your icon is the first opportunity to communicate, at a glance, your app’s purpose. It also appears throughout the system, such as in Settings and search results.
Embrace simplicity. Find a single element that captures the essence of your app and express that element in a simple, unique shape. Add details cautiously. If an icon’s content or shape is overly complex, the details can be hard to discern, especially at smaller sizes.
Provide a single focus point. Design an icon with a single, centered point that immediately captures attention and clearly identifies your app.
Design a recognizable icon. People shouldn’t have to analyze the icon to figure out what it represents. For example, the Mail app icon uses an envelope, which is universally associated with mail. Take time to design a beautiful and engaging abstract icon that artistically represents your app’s purpose.
Keep the background simple and avoid transparency. Make sure your icon is opaque, and don’t clutter the background. Give it a simple background so it doesn’t overpower other app icons nearby. You don’t need to fill the entire icon with content.
Use words only when they’re essential or part of a logo. An app’s name appears below its icon on the Home screen. Don’t include nonessential words that repeat the name or tell people what to do with your app, like «Watch» or «Play.» If your design includes any text, emphasize words that relate to the actual content your app offers.
Don’t include photos, screenshots, or interface elements. Photographic details can be very hard to see at small sizes. Screenshots are too complex for an app icon and don’t generally help communicate your app’s purpose. Interface elements in an icon are misleading and confusing.
Don’t use replicas of Apple hardware products. Apple products are copyrighted and can’t be reproduced in your icons or images. In general, avoid displaying replicas of devices, because hardware designs tend to change frequently and can make your icon look dated.
Don’t place your app icon throughout the interface. It can be confusing to see an icon used for different purposes throughout an app. Instead, consider incorporating your icon’s color scheme. See Color.
Test your icon against different wallpapers. You can’t predict which wallpaper people will choose for their Home screen, so don’t just test your app against a light or dark color. See how it looks over different photos. Try it on an actual device with a dynamic background that changes perspective as the device moves.
Keep icon corners square. The system applies a mask that rounds icon corners automatically.
App Icon Attributes
All app icons should adhere to the following specifications.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Format | PNG |
| Color space | Display P3 (wide-gamut color), sRGB (color), or Gray Gamma 2.2 (grayscale). See Color Management. |
| Layers | Flattened with no transparency |
| Resolution | Varies. See Image Size and Resolution. |
| Shape | Square with no rounded corners |
App Icon Sizes
Every app must supply small icons for display on the Home screen and throughout the system when your app is installed, as well as a larger icon for display in the App Store.
| Device or context | Icon size |
|---|---|
| iPhone | 60×60 pt (180×180 px @3x) |
| 60×60 pt (120×120 px @2x) | |
| iPad Pro | 83.5×83.5 pt (167×167 px @2x) |
| iPad, iPad mini | 76×76 pt (152×152 px @2x) |
| App Store | 1024×1024 pt (1024×1024 px @1x) |
Provide different sized icons for different devices. Make sure that your app icon looks great on all the devices you support.
Mimic your small icon with your App Store icon. Although the App Store icon is used differently than the small one, it’s still your app icon. It should generally match the smaller version in appearance, although it can be subtly richer and more detailed because there are no visual effects applied to it.
Spotlight, Settings, and Notification Icons
Every app should also provide a small icon that iOS can display when the app name matches a term in a Spotlight search. Additionally, apps with settings should provide a small icon to display in the built-in Settings app, and apps that support notifications should provide a small icon to display in notifications. All icons should clearly identify your app — ideally, they should match your app icon. If you don’t provide these icons, iOS might shrink your primary app icon for display in these locations.
| Device | Spotlight icon size |
|---|---|
| iPhone | 40×40 pt (120×120 px @3x) |
| 40×40 pt (80×80 px @2x) | |
| iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini | 40×40 pt (80×80 px @2x) |
| Device | Settings icon size |
|---|---|
| iPhone | 29×29 pt (87×87 px @3x) |
| 29×29 pt (58×58 px @2x) | |
| iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini | 29×29 pt (58×58 px @2x) |
| Device | Notification icon size |
|---|---|
| iPhone | 20×20 pt (60×60 px @3x) |
| 20×20 pt (40×40 px @2x) | |
| iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini | 20×20 pt (40×40 px @2x) |
Don’t add an overlay or border to your Settings icon. iOS automatically adds a 1-pixel stroke to all icons so that they look good on the white background of Settings.
TIP If your app creates custom documents, you don’t need to design document icons because iOS uses your app icon to create document icons automatically.
User-Selectable App Icons
For some apps, customization is a feature that evokes a personal connection and enhances the user experience. If it provides value in your app, you can let people select an alternate app icon from a set of predefined icons that are embedded within your app. For example, a sports app might offer icons for different teams or an app with light and dark modes might offer corresponding light and dark icons. Only users can choose one of the alternate app icons you supply, and the system always provides confirmation when people make this change.
Provide visually consistent alternate icons in all necessary sizes. Like your primary app icon, you deliver each alternate app icon as a collection of related images that vary in size. When people choose an alternate icon, the system replaces your primary app icon with the appropriately sized alternate icon on the Home screen, in Spotlight, and elsewhere in the system. To ensure that alternate icons appear consistently throughout the system, provide them in the same sizes you use for your primary app icon.
For developer guidance, see the setAlternateIconName method of UIApplication.
NOTE Alternate app icons are subject to app review and must adhere to the App Store Review Guidelines.
