What are Android Icon Sizes?
It is a simple question but even Android, who provide better documentation than most, seems to make you want to work a little for the answer. Fear not, I have done the work for you!
Android Icon Sizes – App Launcher
What sizes do I need for Android App launcher icons? If you want to design your own or commission a professional to design your custom icons, you really need to know the right sizes.
Quick answer: 48 px, 72 px, 96 px, 144 px, 192 px & 512 px (for Google Play Store).
What about the Google Play Icon?
Google play requires a single additional version of the Icon in 512 x 512 pixels.
Understanding Android Icon Sizes
Android approach their Icon Size documentation slightly differently to other platforms, concentrating on different pixel densities rather than the simple facts we want. However, it is worth taking a moment to understand why they use this approach.
As technology has progressed, manufacturers have brought out hardware with ever increasing resolutions and pixel density. An increase in pixel density or dots per inch (dpi), basically means more image information can be displayed with.
- MDPI – Medium Pixel Density – also known as the ‘Baseline'
- HDPI – High Pixel Density
- XHDPI – Extra High Pixel Density
- XXHDPI – Extra Extra High Pixel Density
Note: Android also supports low-density (LDPI) screens, but you normally don't need to create custom assets at this size because Android effectively down-scales your HDPI assets by 1/2 to match the expected size.

Android Icon Sizes – User interface
All Android icons follow the same scaling rules, so when creating your icon files you must make 5 versions to cover all the platforms available. The table below shows the pixel densities and icon sizes for the different types of user interface icons used by Android:
MDPI (Baseline) | HDPI | XHDPI | XXHDPI | XXXHDPI | |
Scale | 1 x | 1.5 x | 2 x | 3 x | 4 x |
DPI | ~ 160 dpi | ~ 240 dpi | ~ 320 dpi | ~ 480 dpi | ~ 640 dpi |
App Launcher Icons | 48 px | 72 px | 96 px | 144 px | 192 px |
Action bar Icons | 32 px (24px inset) | 48 px | 64 px | 96 px | 128 px |
Small / Contextual Icons | 16 px (12px inset) | 24 px | 32 px | 48 px | 64 px |
Notification Icons | 24 px (22px inset) | 36 px | 48 px | 72 px | 96 px |
Whilst the user interface icons follow the same scaling rules as the app launcher icon, they also have some additional display rules of their own:

Action Bar Icons require a file size of 32×32 pixels at the baseline size (MDPI). However, the image itself must be no more than 24×24 pixels centred within the Icon file.
The Icon Design must be single colour #666666 with a transparency set to 60%
Android Small / Contextual Icon Sizes
Action Bar Icons require a file size of 16×16 pixels at the baseline size (MDPI). However, the image itself must be no more than 12×12 pixels centred within the Icon file.
