App Icon Safe Zone Checker & Resizer
Verified App Store Specifications
Practical guide for App Icon Safe Zones
Safe-zone testing is a visual check, not a substitute for each platform’s current design guidance. Use it to find fragile edges, off-center artwork, and details that disappear at launcher size.
- Preview multiple common platform masks
- Keep critical artwork near the visual center
- Test light and dark surrounding backgrounds
- Inspect the icon at realistic launcher sizes
Recommended workflow
Load the unmasked square artwork
Do not add rounded corners to the source; operating systems apply their own masks.
Compare every preview
Look for clipped letters, uneven spacing, and focal points that appear off-center under different shapes.
Reduce and repeat
Check the icon at a small display size, simplify weak details, and validate again.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Pre-rounding the icon corners
- Using edge-to-edge text or a thin border
- Testing only one launcher shape
Continue your workflow
