Overview
Icons is a small utility that simplifies generating app icons for Apple's platforms. It addresses the growing hassle of maintaining icon asset catalogs as the variety of iOS devices expands, by producing every image size your project needs and packaging them into a ready-to-use asset catalog.
How it works
- Drop your base artwork into the app.
- The tool automatically creates the required scaled images for each target.
- An asset catalog is generated in seconds, ready to import into your Xcode project.
After adding the catalog to your project, you can resume development immediately — no manual resizing or file renaming required.
Platforms supported
- watchOS
- iOS
- CarPlay
- macOS
The output covers all typical targets, so a single export will usually meet the icon requirements for multiple platforms.
User experience
Although the core function is essentially an automated resizing engine, the developer has put visible effort into crafting a polished and approachable interface. That attention to usability makes an otherwise routine task feel effortless.
Alternatives and options
- A Python script or small CLI tool — free, flexible for automation
- ImageMagick or similar command-line image processors — free, powerful but less user-friendly
- Commercial plugins or GUI utilities (paid) — often integrate with design tools and offer more polish
Pick a substitute depending on whether you prefer a graphical tool, scriptable automation, or deep command-line control.
