Android Icon Sizes — Launcher, Adaptive and Play
List Android icon pixel sizes by density for 48dp legacy launchers or 108dp adaptive layers, and check the separate 512px Play listing size.
Find the pixel dimensions for a specific Android icon role. Legacy launcher bitmaps, adaptive foreground and background layers, and Google Play listing artwork serve different purposes. Select the role first, then choose a density bucket or view the full primary-density table.
How to use this tool
- Choose legacy launcher, adaptive layer or Google Play listing.
- For launcher assets, select a density or show all six primary buckets.
- Read the pixel dimensions and the purpose in the same table row.
- Use the official guidance to prepare layers, masks and app resource references.
Formula
Raster pixels = logical dp × density factor; primary factors = 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4
Legacy launcher artwork uses a 48dp reference. Adaptive layers use 108dp, with the logo inside the central 66dp area. The Google Play listing is fixed at 512 pixels and has no density multiplier.
Example
At xxxhdpi, factor 4 converts an adaptive layer to 432 × 432 pixels and its central 66dp area to 264 × 264 pixels. A legacy 48dp launcher at the same density is 192 × 192 pixels. These images are different assets, not interchangeable resolutions of one submission file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a 512px Play image as my adaptive icon?
Not directly. Play listing artwork is separate. An adaptive launcher needs foreground and background layers plus the app resource configuration; its visible mask can vary between launchers.
Should I round the corners myself?
Adaptive layers remain unmasked, and Google Play applies its own mask and shadow. The current Play specification uses a 30% corner radius after upload, not a request to bake rounded corners into the source.
Why does ldpi show a fractional central area?
The 66dp reference multiplied by 0.75 is 49.5 pixels. This is a geometric boundary inside an 81px adaptive layer, not a request for a PNG with a fractional outer size.
