FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does Apple reject app icons?

Most rejections come from transparency, wrong dimensions (must be exactly 1024x1024), non-PNG format, or pre-rounded corners that conflict with iOS's own mask. Apple rejects builds at submission, so catching these locally saves a round trip.

What size does my iOS app icon need to be?

Exactly 1024x1024 pixels for the App Store icon (the marketing icon). Xcode generates the smaller home-screen sizes automatically. The master must be 1024x1024 PNG without transparency.

Can my iOS icon have transparency?

No. The 1024x1024 App Store icon must be fully opaque. Flatten any transparent areas onto a solid background color before submission.

Should I round the corners myself?

No. iOS applies its own continuous-corner mask. Submit a square icon and let iOS round it. Pre-rounding causes double-clipping or visible gaps.

What if my icon fails?

Use Pixelle's AI app icon generator to create a compliant icon from a text prompt. It produces 1024x1024 PNGs without transparency by default, ready to drop into Xcode.
