Complete App Icon Sizes Guide for iOS, Android & HarmonyOS

Last updated: May 2026

Every mobile app needs icons in multiple sizes to look crisp across different devices, screen densities, and contexts. Submitting the wrong size or missing a required dimension is one of the most common reasons apps get rejected from the App Store and Google Play.

This guide lists every required app icon size for iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS in 2026. Whether you are a solo developer shipping your first app or a designer preparing assets for a team, use this as your single reference.

All sizes are listed in pixels (width x height). App icons are always square, so both dimensions are equal.

iOS App Icon Sizes

Apple requires icon assets for several display contexts: the home screen, Spotlight search results, Settings, Notifications, and the App Store listing. Starting with Xcode, you provide these inside an AppIcon.appiconset image set in your asset catalog.

Name	Size (px)	Usage
20pt @1x	`20 x 20`	Notifications (iPhone)
20pt @2x	`40 x 40`	Notifications (iPhone)
20pt @3x	`60 x 60`	Notifications (iPhone)
29pt @1x	`29 x 29`	Settings
29pt @2x	`58 x 58`	Settings
29pt @3x	`87 x 87`	Settings
40pt @1x	`40 x 40`	Spotlight
40pt @2x	`80 x 80`	Spotlight
40pt @3x	`120 x 120`	Spotlight
60pt @2x	`120 x 120`	App Icon (iPhone)
60pt @3x	`180 x 180`	App Icon (iPhone)
76pt @1x	`76 x 76`	App Icon (iPad)
76pt @2x	`152 x 152`	App Icon (iPad)
83.5pt @2x	`167 x 167`	App Icon (iPad Pro)
App Store	`1024 x 1024`	App Store listing

In total, you need 15 distinct PNG files for a complete iOS icon set. The largest one (1024 x 1024) is used exclusively for the App Store and is never rendered on the device itself.

Android App Icon Sizes

Android uses density buckets rather than point-based sizing. You place each icon in the corresponding mipmap-<density> folder inside your project's res/ directory. Android 13+ also supports adaptive icons (foreground layer + background layer at 108 x 108 dp), but the sizes below refer to the legacy full-bleed launcher icons that remain required.

Density	DPI	Size (px)	Usage
ldpi	120 dpi	`36 x 36`	Low density
mdpi	160 dpi	`48 x 48`	Medium density (baseline)
hdpi	240 dpi	`72 x 72`	High density
xhdpi	320 dpi	`96 x 96`	Extra high density
xxhdpi	480 dpi	`144 x 144`	Extra extra high density
xxxhdpi	640 dpi	`192 x 192`	Extra extra extra high density
Play Store	-	`512 x 512`	Google Play listing

That is 7 PNG files total: six density variants for the launcher plus one 512 x 512 image for the Google Play Store listing.

HarmonyOS App Icon Sizes

HarmonyOS follows a sizing model similar to Android but defines its own density tiers. Icons are supplied in the project's resources under the applicable density folder and are used by the launcher, system settings, and the Huawei AppGallery storefront.

Name	Size (px)	Usage
Small	`48 x 48`	Small screen launcher
Medium	`72 x 72`	Medium screen launcher
Large	`96 x 96`	Large screen launcher
Extra Large	`144 x 144`	Extra large screen launcher
Launcher	`192 x 192`	Default launcher icon
App Gallery	`216 x 216`	AppGallery listing (small)
Large App Gallery	`512 x 512`	AppGallery listing (featured)

You need 7 PNG files for a complete HarmonyOS icon set, from 48 x 48 for small launchers up to 512 x 512 for featured AppGallery placements.

Quick Reference Summary

Here is a side-by-side overview of the total number of icon files each platform expects:

iOS icon files

Android icon files

HarmonyOS icon files

Targeting all three platforms means generating up to 29 individual icon files from a single source image. Doing this by hand is error-prone and time-consuming. That is exactly why we built IconForge.
