Professional tips for perfect app icon implementation
Always design your app icon at the highest required size (1024x1024 for iOS) and scale down to maintain quality.
Always keep a perfect square aspect ratio. App stores will reject non-square icons.
Save all app icons as PNG files with no transparency. JPEG is not recommended for app icons.
Ensure your icon is recognizable and clear even at the smallest required sizes (48x48 for Android).
Adhere to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and Google's Material Design principles.
Keep file sizes reasonable while maintaining quality. Compress without losing visual fidelity.
