What Assets Are Generated?

Upon uploading your app logo, our tool automatically generates the following assets in their respective sizes:

• icon-only.png: 1024x1024 - A standalone app icon without background.
• icon-foreground.png: 1024x1024 - The foreground layer for adaptive icons.
• splash.png: 2732x2732 - The primary splash screen for your app (light mode).
• splash-dark.png: 2732x2732 - The splash screen for dark mode.
• icon-background.png: 1024x1024 - The background layer for adaptive icons.

File Sizes and Requirements

The images generated follow the recommended sizes for Android and iOS. Here are the important file sizes and their respective platforms:

• Android: Android requires adaptive icons, which consist of a background and a foreground layer. The recommended size for these icons is 1024x1024 pixels, which our tool generates for you.
• iOS: iOS uses static icons for your app, and we generate sizes like 1024x1024 for the App Store icon. We also ensure that your splash screens meet the required iOS screen resolutions.
• Capacitor Apps: Capacitor apps need both icons and splash screens to be added to the native app project. Our generator provides all the required assets in the correct sizes to easily integrate with your Capacitor project.

Best Practices for App Icon Design

To ensure your app icons and splash screens look professional and are highly visible on all devices, follow these best practices:

• Simplicity: A simple design makes your app icon more recognizable and professional. Avoid using too many details that may be hard to see on small screens.
• High-Resolution: Use a high-resolution image for your base logo to ensure it looks crisp and clear on all screen sizes.
• Transparent Background: For your app icon, it’s best to have a transparent background to create a clean and modern look. This also allows the icon to blend seamlessly with the device's theme.
• Contrast: Use contrasting colors between the foreground and background to ensure that the icon is easily visible.
• Testing: Always test your app icons on different devices to ensure they appear as expected, especially on devices with varying screen sizes.
