App Icon Generator topic guide
Generate icons for an Android app
Direct answer
Produce the legacy Android launcher icon sizes plus a 512 pixel source for adaptive-icon layers and the Play Store.
What this workflow handles
Android buckets icons by screen density: 48, 72, 96, 144 and 192 pixel PNGs go into mipmap-mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi respectively. The 512 pixel source is useful for adaptive-icon foreground and background layers and for the Play Store listing.
Use the app icon generator to download every supported size and format in one ZIP, then pick the files your platform or framework actually requires.
How to use it
- Upload your source image
- Generate the mipmap PNGs and 512 source
- Drop the icons into the matching mipmap buckets
Frequently asked questions
What Android icon sizes do I need?
The common baseline covers five density buckets: 48 pixels for mipmap-mdpi, 72 for hdpi, 96 for xhdpi, 144 for xxhdpi and 192 for xxxhdpi. The package also includes a 512 pixel PNG suitable for the Play Store listing and for adaptive-icon foreground or background layers.
Do I still need adaptive icons?
Yes, modern Android typically uses adaptive icons declared in res/mipmap-anydpi-v26. The legacy launcher icons remain the fallback for older devices and for the Play Store. The 512 pixel PNG the generator produces works as a source layer for the adaptive-icon pipeline.
