How to use an app icon design

  1. Pick a design

    Filter by category and tap the icon you like.

  2. Make it yours

    Change the symbol or letters, the colours and the app name.

  3. Download every size

    Get the iOS, Android, macOS and web icons in one zip.

Good to know

  • Every card is drawn live by the icon maker, so what you see is exactly what you download.
  • Glass and soft gradient looks suit weather, photo and social apps. Line and monogram looks suit calm, premium apps.
  • A symbol reads better than a word at small sizes. Keep words for the name under the icon.
  • Use the same colour as your app's main button so the icon and the app feel like one.

Where people use it

  • Find a direction

    Look at icons from the same kind of app as yours, from weather to money and games, and pick a style that fits.

Questions people ask

Can I use these icon designs for my own app?

Yes. Open any design in the icon maker, change the symbol, letters, colours and name, and download the full set. The designs are free to use, and every app name here is made up.

How do I change the symbol on a design?

Tap a card to open it in the maker, then pick a new symbol from the search box, type one to three letters, or add your own logo. The look and colours stay.

What makes an app icon look good on a phone?

One simple shape, strong contrast with the background, and no small words. Check it at 29 and 40 pixels in the maker: if you can still tell what it is, it works.

Are these icons the right size for the stores?

The maker draws each one as a vector, so every size comes out sharp: 1024 for the App Store, 512 for Google Play, every Android density and the macOS sizes, in one zip.
