Use clear artwork with breathing room
Use a square composition with a simple, recognizable mark. Avoid small text and keep important shapes away from the edges. The system controls how the icon is presented on the Home Screen.
How to check the export
Check the final file’s pixel dimensions and crop, then preview it where it will be used. Compare text, edges, and subject detail at the displayed size. Keep an original so another crop or a less compressed export can be made without starting from the delivery copy.
Quick Tips
- → Keep an editable original and export a separate delivery copy.
- → Check text and subject framing at the actual display size.
- → Compare the final published result after any platform processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only usable size?
No. This page gives a specific design size or an attributed platform recommendation. Other crops and placements can have different requirements; consult the linked reference for the destination.
Will changing DPI make this image sharper online?
Changing DPI metadata alone does not add pixels. For web display, check the source pixel dimensions, rendered CSS size, device pixel density, and compression quality.
