iOS App Icon Generator
Yes — you can generate a complete iOS app icon with AI. Describe your app, generate the artwork, and export every size Apple requires. The master size iOS needs is 1024×1024 px; every smaller size is derived from it.
Example output
What sizes do you need for an iOS app icon?
iOS derives most icon sizes from a single high-resolution master. Provide a 1024×1024 px icon and generate the rest — Xcode's asset catalog expects the sizes in the table below, spanning the App Store listing, the home screen, Spotlight, Settings, and notifications.
IconsCove generates the artwork from your prompt; the free App Icon Generator then packages it into a ready-to-drop Xcode .appiconset with the correct filenames and Contents.json, so you are not resizing by hand.
For the icon itself, a single centered subject on a simple background reads best at small sizes — avoid fine text or busy detail that disappears once the icon is 60×60 px on a home screen.

Frequently asked questions
- What size is an iOS app icon?
- The master iOS app icon is 1024×1024 px (the App Store size). All other sizes — down to 40×40 px notification icons — are generated from that master.
- Do I need to create every icon size by hand?
- No. Generate or upload a 1024×1024 icon, and the free App Icon Generator exports every size into an Xcode .appiconset for you.
- Can I use an AI-generated icon in the App Store?
- Yes. You can publish icons you generate; review the terms for the specifics, and make sure the design does not copy an existing trademark.
