iOS App Icon Sizes — Complete Reference
Apple requires specific icon sizes for the App Store, iPhones, and iPads. Each device class uses a different point size rendered at @2x or @3x scale. Missing even one size can cause your app submission to be rejected. Here is every iOS icon size you need.
Required Sizes
| Size | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1024x1024 | PNG | App Store listing |
| 180x180 | PNG | iPhone @3x (60pt) |
| 120x120 | PNG | iPhone @2x (60pt) |
| 167x167 | PNG | iPad Pro @2x (83.5pt) |
| 152x152 | PNG | iPad @2x (76pt) |
| 80x80 | PNG | Spotlight @2x (40pt) |
| 120x120 | PNG | Spotlight @3x (40pt) |
| 87x87 | PNG | Settings @3x (29pt) |
| 58x58 | PNG | Settings @2x (29pt) |
Best Practices
- 1Start with a 1024x1024 source image and scale down — never scale up from a smaller icon.
- 2Use a flat, simple design that remains recognizable at 29pt (58px) in the Settings app.
- 3Export all sizes from a single source to maintain visual consistency across devices.
- 4Test your icon on both light and dark wallpapers to ensure good contrast.
Common Mistakes
- Including an alpha channel in the 1024px App Store icon — Apple rejects icons with transparency.
- Using the wrong color space — the App Store icon must be sRGB, not P3 or CMYK.
- Forgetting iPad-specific sizes — apps that run on iPad need 152px and 167px icons.
- Adding visual effects like rounded corners manually — iOS applies corner masks automatically.
