From Idea to App Icon in a Minute

A new app, YouTube channel, startup or WhatsApp group needs an icon long before there is a designer. Pick a couple of letters, an emoji or a symbol, add a gradient, and see how it looks on a phone home screen, as a chat avatar and in a browser tab. Then download exactly the files you need, from a single PNG to a full iOS, Android and PWA icon pack.

Good to Know

  • The app icon pack has everything a developer asks for: iOS 1024 px (no transparency, as Apple requires), Android launcher icons in all five densities plus an adaptive icon, the 512 px Play Store icon, and web/PWA icons with a manifest.
  • Making profile pictures for a team, class or WhatsApp group? Paste the names and download one avatar per person, each with their initials and their own colour.
  • Keep icons simple: one or two letters or a single symbol stays readable even at 16 px in a browser tab.
  • A contrast warning appears if the letters are hard to read on the background colour.
  • Have a logo already? Use the Favicon Generator to turn an existing image into a website icon set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these icons for my app on the App Store and Play Store?

Yes. The app pack includes a 1024 × 1024 px iOS icon with no transparency and a 512 × 512 px Play Store icon, plus Android launcher icons for every screen density. The stores round the corners themselves, so those files are full squares.

How do I make avatars for many people at once?

Open “Make avatars for a list of names”, paste one name per line, and download a ZIP. “Priya Sharma” becomes PS, and the same name always gets the same colour.

Which size should I download?

512 or 1024 px for app stores and printing, 256 px for profile pictures, and 64–128 px for small icons. Larger is safer: it can always be scaled down.

How is this different from the Favicon Generator?

The Favicon Generator converts a logo image you already have into website icons. This tool designs a new icon from letters, an emoji or a symbol, and also makes app icons and avatars.

Is this free to use?

Yes, completely free, with no watermark and no limit. Icons are made in your browser and are yours to use.
