iPhone Icon Generator

Make a clean iPhone app icon that stays readable at small sizes.

Make it readable on the Home Screen

Most icons fail because they are too detailed. Build around one dominant shape and one supporting element.

Test quickly by zooming out: if you can’t recognize it instantly, simplify.

A simple iPhone icon formula

High contrast + clear silhouette + consistent padding around the main mark.

Avoid tiny text. Prefer bold geometry and strong color separation.

Export and ship

Use the 1024×1024 master icon for App Store Connect.

In Xcode, keep icons inside the asset catalog so builds are consistent across machines.

FAQ

Common questions

Do iPhone icons need rounded corners?

No. iOS applies masking automatically. Design inside a safe square and focus on the center.

What’s the best preview size to test?

Try 60×60 and 40×40. If it reads there, it will read almost everywhere.

Can I generate multiple options?

Yes. Generate a few rounds and pick the best direction before polishing.

Is the output App Store ready?

Yes. Export a 1024×1024 PNG master icon.
