In iOS 13 or later, prefer using SF Symbols to represent tasks and modes in your app. If your app is running in iOS 12 or earlier, or if you need to create custom bitmap icons, follow the guidance below.

If you have any image you like a lot and you also want to have it as icon, this tool is the one you need. Image 2 Icon Converter is an easy-to-use program that allows you to covert any bmp or jpg image.
Create recognizable, highly-simplified designs. Too many details can make an icon confusing or unreadable. Strive for a simple, universal design that most people will recognize quickly and won’t find offensive. The best icons use familiar visual metaphors that are directly related to the actions they initiate or content they reveal.
Glyph
Design icons as glyphs. A glyph, also known as a template image, is a monochromatic image with transparency, anti-aliasing, and no drop shadow that uses a mask to define its shape. Glyphs automatically receive the appropriate appearance—including coloring, highlighting, and vibrancy—based on the context and user interactions. A variety of standard interface elements support glyphs, including navigation bars, tab bars, toolbars, and Home screen quick actions.
Prepare glyphs with a scale factor of @2x and save them as PDFs. Because PDF is a vector format that allows for high-resolution scaling, it's typically sufficient to provide a single @2x version in your app and allow it to scale for other resolutions.
Keep your icons consistent. Whether you use only custom icons or mix custom and system icons, all icons in your app should be the same in terms of level of detail, optical weight, stroke weight, position, and perspective.
Make sure icons are legible. In general, solid icons tend to be clearer than outlined icons. If an icon must includes lines, coordinate the weight with other icons and your app's typography.
Use color to communicate selected and deselected states. Avoid toggling between two different icon designs, like a solid version and an outlined version.
Avoid including text in an icon. If you need text, display a label beneath the icon and adjust its placement accordingly.
Don’t use replicas of Apple hardware products. Apple products are copyrighted and can’t be reproduced in your icons or images. In general, avoid displaying replicas of devices because hardware designs tend to change frequently and can make your icon look dated.
Simple webmonitor 1 3 3. Provide alternative text labels for icons. Alternative text labels aren’t visible onscreen, but they let VoiceOver audibly describe what's onscreen, making navigation easier for people with visual impairments.
Above all, your app's icon family should be visually consistent in size. If individual icon designs vary in weight, some icons may need to be slightly larger than others to achieve this effect.
A Home screen quick action icon appears next to the title. If you need to create a custom icon for your Home screen quick action, use the following sizes for guidance.
| Maximum width and height |
|---|
| 104px × 104px (34.67pt × 34.67pt @3x) |
| 70px × 70px (35pt × 35pt @2x) |
| Target width and height |
|---|
| 80px × 80px (26.67pt × 26.67pt @3x) |
| 54px × 54px (27pt × 27pt @2x) |
| Target width (wide glyphs) |
|---|
| 88px (29.33pt @3x) |
| 60px (30pt @2x) |
| Target height (tall glyphs) |
|---|
| 88px (29.33pt @3x) |
| 60px (30pt @2x) |
Use the following sizes for guidance when preparing custom navigation bar and toolbar icons, but adjust as needed to create balance.
| Target sizes | Maximum sizes |
|---|---|
| 72px × 72px (24pt × 24pt @3x) | 84px × 84px (28pt × 28pt @3x) |
| 48px × 48px (24pt × 24pt @2x) | 56px × 56px (28pt × 28pt @2x) |
In portrait orientation, tab bar icons appear above tab titles. In landscape orientation, the icons and titles appear side-by-side. Depending on the device and orientation, the system displays either a regular or compact tab bar. Your app should include custom tab bar icons for both sizes.
Target width and height (circular glyphs)
| Regular tab bars | Compact tab bars |
|---|---|
| 75px × 75px (25pt × 25pt @3x) | 54px × 54px (18pt × 18pt @3x) |
| 50px × 50px (25pt × 25pt @2x) | 36px × 36px (18pt × 18pt @2x) |
Target width and height (square glyphs)
| Regular tab bars | Compact tab bars |
|---|---|
| 69px × 69px (23pt × 23pt @3x) | 51px × 51px (17pt × 17pt @3x) |
| 46px × 46px (23pt × 23pt @2x) | 34px × 34px (17pt × 17pt @2x) |
Target width (wide glyphs)
| Regular tab bars | Compact tab bars |
|---|---|
| 93px (31pt @3x) | 69px (23pt @3x) |

Target height (tall glyphs)
| Regular tab bars | Compact tab bars |
|---|---|
| 84px (28pt @3x) | 60px (20pt @3x) |
