iOS App Icon Sizes in 2026: The Complete Reference

Every time I ship an iOS app I end up re-looking-up the icon sizes, so here’s the complete 2026 reference in one place — plus the part nobody tells you up front.

App Store

• 1024×1024 px — the required master. With a modern Xcode project this is often the only size you need to provide (see the shortcut below).

iPhone

Use Points @2x @3x Home Screen 60pt 120×120 180×180 Spotlight 40pt 80×80 120×120 Settings 29pt 58×58 87×87 Notifications 20pt 40×40 60×60

iPad

Use Points @2x Home Screen 76pt 152×152 iPad Pro Home 83.5pt 167×167 Spotlight 40pt 80×80 Settings 29pt 58×58 Notifications 20pt 40×40

Rules: square PNG, no transparency/alpha, and no rounded corners (iOS masks them automatically).

The shortcut nobody mentions

Since Xcode 14 you can drop a single 1024×1024 PNG into a “Single Size” AppIcon.appiconset and Xcode generates every other size at build time. You rarely need the full legacy set anymore — but it’s still there if you want pixel-perfect control per size.

iOS 18 / iOS 26 dark + tinted icons

Newer iOS also supports dark and tinted icon variants (and the “Liquid Glass” look in iOS 26). You add extra 1024×1024 variants in the asset catalog and iOS handles the rest.

Disclosure: I build IconBundlr, an AI app-icon maker that generates an icon from a text prompt and exports the whole AppIcon.appiconset. I basically turned the reference above into a tool — but the table’s the table, so copy it wherever you need it.
