App Icon Resizer
Upload one 1024×1024 icon and download every required iOS and Android size instantly.
iOS and Android between them expect more than a dozen icon sizes — from the 1024×1024 px App Store master down to tiny notification and settings variants. Producing them by hand means repetitive export dialogs and a real chance of shipping a stale size after an icon redesign. This resizer takes one 1024×1024 master and generates the complete set in one pass.
Everything runs client-side in your browser: your icon is resized with high-quality canvas scaling and delivered as individual PNG downloads, one per required size. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so unreleased icons and confidential designs never leave your machine.
How to generate every icon size
- 1
Export your icon from your design tool as a 1024×1024 px PNG — flat, square, no transparency for iOS.
- 2
Upload it above; the tool validates the dimensions and previews the master.
- 3
Review the generated grid of iOS and Android sizes to spot any detail that breaks when scaled down.
- 4
Download the sizes you need as individual PNG files, each named by dimension.
- 5
Drop the files into your Xcode asset catalog or Android res/ directories and rebuild.
Why a single 1024 master is the right workflow
Apple’s own guidance is to design at 1024×1024 px and scale down, because every smaller iOS size is a clean division of that master. Starting from the largest size guarantees maximum detail is available for the downscaler, and it keeps your icon pipeline single-source: redesign once, regenerate everything, and no orphaned old-version icon survives in a forgotten slot of your asset catalog.
Downscaling is not entirely mechanical, though. Fine strokes, small text, and subtle gradients that look great at 1024 px can turn to mush at 40 px. Use the generated grid as a review surface: if the smallest sizes lose their shape, simplify the master — fewer elements, thicker strokes, stronger silhouette — rather than trying to hand-tune each size separately.
Client-side resizing and what it means for quality
This tool resizes with the browser’s canvas using high-quality image smoothing, which applies proper resampling rather than nearest-neighbor decimation. For photographic or gradient-heavy icons the output is visually indistinguishable from desktop export tools. For icons with pixel-perfect 1 px grid lines, no automatic downscaler is perfect — those designs need per-size manual adjustment regardless of the tool.
Because processing happens locally, the tool works offline once loaded and there is no file-size upload limit beyond your browser’s memory. PNGs are generated losslessly at each target dimension, so you can commit them straight to your repository without a second compression pass — though running them through an optimizer like pngcrush before release never hurts.
Frequently asked questions
What size should my master app icon be?
1024×1024 px. That is the size the App Store itself requires, and every smaller iOS and Android size can be generated from it. Design at 1024, export as PNG, and scale down — never up.
Is my icon uploaded to a server?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser using the canvas API. The file never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe for unreleased apps and pre-announcement redesigns.
Which icon sizes does the tool generate?
The full iOS set (App Store 1024, iPhone app 180 and 120, spotlight, settings, and notification variants) plus the Android set (Play Store 512, and launcher densities from mdpi 48 px through xxxhdpi 192 px). Each size downloads as its own PNG.
Can I upload a transparent PNG?
You can, but for iOS you shouldn’t ship one — Apple requires app icons to be fully opaque, and transparent regions are rendered against black. Android adaptive icons handle transparency differently through separate foreground and background layers.
My icon looks blurry at small sizes. What should I change?
That is a design problem, not a scaling problem. Small text, thin strokes, and dense detail cannot survive at 40–60 px. Simplify the master: one bold shape, high contrast, no words. The legibility tester below is built for checking exactly this.
Your icon is one asset — your store listing is dozens
Appalize’s Screenshot Studio manages the whole creative set: sized templates, device frames, localized captions in every language, and one-click upload of finished assets to App Store Connect.
