App Icon Generator topic guide
Generate the PWA section of a complete app icon package
Direct answer
The app icon package includes 13 iOS sizes, 6 Android sizes and 2 PWA manifest icons. This page describes the PWA section, which is the smallest part of that same package.
What this workflow handles
The app icon ZIP places the PWA files under pwa/ inside the same archive that contains ios/ and android/, so a product that already needs the iOS and Android sizes can collect all of its install icons in one download. PWA installability still depends on a valid web app manifest, the right HTML link tags, a secure origin and the browser's service worker requirements, and the same considerations apply as for any PWA.
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.
If your project only needs the website PWA manifest icons, see the website PWA topic in the Favicon Generator.
How to use it
- Upload your source image
- Generate the app icon package
- Pick the files under pwa/ for your web app manifest
Frequently asked questions
Which PWA files should I pick from the app icon package?
The app icon package declares one 192 by 192 PNG and one 512 by 512 PNG under the pwa/ folder, which is the same manifest baseline browsers use for install and splash. Pick these two files from the pwa/ folder when you reference them from your web app manifest.
Does generating icons make my PWA installable?
No. A PWA also needs a valid web app manifest, the right link tags, a secure origin and the service worker behaviour the browser expects. Use the pwa/ folder files to complete the icon part of an otherwise installable product.
When should I use this page instead of the website PWA topic?
Use the app icon package when you also need iOS and Android icons for the same product. If your project only needs the website PWA manifest icons, the Favicon Generator's PWA topic produces the same two files in a smaller package alongside favicon.ico and site.webmanifest.
