About App Icon Generator
Pick an icon from more than 1,600, type a letter or two, or use your own logo. Set the colours, background, padding and shape, and the previews show how the icon looks on Android, iPhone, in a browser tab and on a desktop.
One download gives you every file each platform asks for: Android launcher, round and adaptive icons with the themed (monochrome) layer, the iOS AppIcon set with Contents.json, favicons and PWA icons for the web, and .icns and .ico files for macOS and Windows. Everything is drawn in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Tips for a clear icon
- Keep it simple: one symbol or one or two letters reads best at small sizes.
- Leave padding of about 20%. Android crops adaptive icons into circles and other shapes.
- Use strong contrast between the symbol and the background, and check the 32 px favicon preview.
- Avoid putting the app name inside the icon; it is shown underneath anyway.

Questions
Is my logo uploaded?
No. The icons are drawn in your browser and the ZIP is built on your device.
What is an adaptive icon?
Since Android 8, launcher icons have a separate foreground and background layer that the phone masks into its own shape. The ZIP includes both layers plus the XML that ties them together, and a monochrome layer for Android 13 themed icons.
Why are the iOS icons square?
Apple asks for square, opaque artwork and applies the rounded corners itself. Rounded or transparent iOS icons get black corners or are rejected.
Can I use the icons commercially?
Yes. The built-in icons come from Lucide, released under the ISC licence, which allows commercial use. Your own text and images remain yours.
