ImgWrench's App Store icon maker turns your artwork into the 1024×1024 PNG that Apple's guidelines ask for, with square corners so the system can apply its own rounded mask. The same crop also gives you the 512×512 Google Play icon.

How to make an App Store icon

  1. Drop your artwork into the tool above.
  2. If it isn't square, choose Contain, Cover or Crop. Keep the main shape centred.
  3. Tick Google Play icon if you're shipping on Android too.
  4. Download the PNG, or everything as a ZIP, and add it to your Xcode asset catalog.

Apple's app icon rules

Apple's Human Interface Guidelines list a 1024×1024 pixel, square layout for iOS, iPadOS and macOS icons. The system masks the square to produce the rounded corners, so icons should be provided square and unmasked. PNG is the recommended format for raster artwork, and sRGB, Display P3 and Gray Gamma 2.2 are the supported colour spaces. Xcode can generate every smaller size from the single 1024×1024 image for iOS and iPadOS.

Tips for an icon that reads at every size

  • Fill the square. The corners are rounded for you, so don't leave a frame of empty space.
  • Keep it centred. Apple advises centring the primary content so masking never cuts it off.
  • Skip the fine detail. Apple warns that very thin lines lose crispness in the smaller sizes shown in places like Settings and notifications.

Why ImgWrench

  • Square, as Apple asks. No pre-rounded corners or masks.
  • Both stores at once. App Store and Google Play icons from one crop.
  • Private by design. Your artwork never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make an App Store icon from an image?

Drop your artwork into the tool above. If it isn't square, choose Contain, Cover or Crop, and keep the important part in the middle. The tool exports a 1024×1024 PNG with square corners. Tick Google Play icon for the 512×512 Android version too, then download the files or a ZIP and add the 1024 image to your Xcode asset catalog.

What size is the App Store icon?

1024×1024 pixels for iPhone, iPad and Mac apps, according to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Xcode can generate every smaller icon variation from that single 1024×1024 image for iOS and iPadOS, so in most projects it's the only app icon size you need to make yourself.

Should I round the corners of my App Store icon?

No. Apple's guidelines say to provide a square icon: the system applies the mask that produces the rounded corners, matching the curve used throughout iOS and macOS. Rounding the corners yourself, or adding a pre-made mask, leaves edges that look jagged. Fill the whole square and keep the main shape centred so nothing important is cut off.

Do I upload the app icon in App Store Connect?

Not directly. Apple's App Store Connect Help says you add the icon to your Xcode project's asset catalog, or build it in Icon Composer, then upload the build. To change the icon after release, you submit a new version of your app for review. This tool makes the 1024×1024 PNG you drop into the asset catalog.

Which file format and colour space should an App Store icon use?

Apple recommends PNG for raster artwork, because it's lossless, and supports the sRGB, Display P3 and Gray Gamma 2.2 colour spaces. The tool exports PNG at full quality. If your artwork is a vector logo, make it large and crisp first; the image cropper helps frame it square.

Can I make the Google Play icon from the same image?

Yes. Tick Google Play icon and you get a 512×512 PNG from the same crop, checked against Google Play's 1024KB limit. Like Apple, Google Play rounds the corners itself, so the same square artwork works for both stores. The Google Play icon page has the full Android specs.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser: ImgWrench resizes your artwork on your own device, and it is never sent to a server or stored anywhere else. You can confirm this yourself by opening your browser's network tab while you use the tool and checking that no request carries your image data.
