Why iOS 26 changed the icon game (read this if you're shipping a new app)
Until iOS 26, every app shipped one icon. The system rendered it with rounded corners on the home screen and that was the entire deal. iOS 26 introduced Liquid Glass — a redesigned home-screen system where icons render in three appearance modes:
- Default — your full-color icon as you've always shipped it
- Tinted — a luminance-based monochrome that iOS colors with the user's accent. Your icon shows up as silver-on-black, then orange-on-black, then blue-on-black depending on user choice.
- Dark — a separate dark-mode icon (you control the design entirely)
Apple's Asset Catalog handles all three via the appearances key in Contents.json. The system picks which variant to render based on user preference and device theme. If you ship without these variants, your default icon shows everywhere — which works, but looks out of place when the user has tinted mode enabled.
Most existing icon generators don't support this yet. They were built for the pre-iOS 26 world. This tool does — auto-generates the tinted variant from luminance, and a starter dark variant from auto-darken (replace it with a hand-crafted version for production).
Liquid Glass is also why we built the Liquid Glass design coverage on the blog — for indie devs caught off-guard by the shift.

App Icon Generator FAQ
Everything an iOS dev hits when wiring up app icons in 2026.
Doesn't Xcode already do this?
Partially. Xcode 14+ auto-generates basic iOS sizes from a 1024×1024 source if you choose Single Size mode. But it doesn't handle macOS, watchOS, visionOS, or iOS 26 Liquid Glass tinted/dark variants in one pass. This tool produces all of them together, formatted as a drop-in AppIcon.appiconset.
What should my source image look like?
Square 1024×1024 PNG with the icon centered, no rounded corners (Apple applies the squircle mask itself), full bleed background. SVG sources are accepted and rasterized cleanly at each target size. Sources smaller than 1024×1024 work but get flagged as a warning — they may look soft at App Store sizes.
How is the tinted variant generated?
We compute Rec. 709 luminance per pixel, then output white pixels with alpha proportional to the source luminance. Bright areas of your icon stay solid; dark areas become transparent. The system then colors the white shape with the user's accent. This matches Apple's intended pipeline for tinted variants.
Is the auto-generated dark variant production-quality?
No — for production, design the dark variant by hand. Apple's guidance is that dark icons often need different contrast, brighter outlines, and may use a different palette. The auto-darken in this tool (multiply by 0.55) is a starting point. After you ship a hand-crafted dark variant, replace the file inside AppIcon.appiconset and Xcode picks it up automatically.
Does the tool send my image anywhere?
No. Image processing runs entirely in your browser via the Canvas API. The ZIP is generated client-side using JSZip and downloaded directly. We don't have a backend that sees your image. Refresh the page and there's no trace.
Why no visionOS layered icon support?
visionOS uses 3D layered icons (front + middle + back) that require designer judgment about which elements pop forward. We provide the flat 1024×1024 fallback the system uses for non-3D contexts. For full layered visionOS icons, design the layers in your tool of choice and assemble the .solidimagestack by hand.
