macOS Icons FAQs
What sizes are needed for macOS icons?
macOS apps require a set of icons ranging from 16x16 px to 1024x1024 px to display correctly in Finder, Dock, and other system interfaces.
Do I need to round the corners?
For macOS Big Sur and later, icons are typically rounded squares. Our tool helps you generate the correct format, but generally, you should provide a square image and the system (or our tool if configured) applies the mask.
