Designing Adaptive Icons

With Android O, Google introduced adaptive icons that unify app icon shapes across devices, offering consistency and opening up new visual effects. Any Android app developer targeting Android 8.0 (API 26) and above can use our icons. With Android O, Google introduced

To understand the evolution of this feature, take a look at where it started.

Initially, each app determined its own icon shape, size, and drop-shadow, leading to inconsistencies. Here's an example from Google’s icons in 2012:

Though recent improvements and material guidelines have added consistency, developers still face challenges. Adaptive icons aim to balance developer freedom with a cohesive user experience by defining clear expectations for app icon display.

As a result, custom launchers and icon packs have emerged to standardize icon sizes and shapes. Devices also introduced background overlays for icons to maintain consistency across platforms.

Elevate Brand Consistency with Adaptive Icon Frameworks

Every app needs an icon that looks good on any launcher, from square Android masks to round smartwatch badges. With our icon shape adaptability toolkit, you create one design that morphs to all shapes at once. In addition, you avoid extra exports and free up time to refine your art. Besides, this setup keeps your team focused on fresh ideas instead of format details.

With us, you can plug your icons into the build pipeline in minutes. You add SVG layers, define safe zones, and let SVG icon automation handle the rest. This move slashes manual updates each time you tweak a shape. Consequently, you speed up releases and keep your team agile in a fast-moving market.

Drive Engagement Through Vibrant, Dynamic Icons

By blending responsive adaptability icon​ design with a simple setup, you cut export steps and deliver polish fast. Users form opinions in seconds, so a striking icon grabs attention and boosts tap rates. With our interactive icon animations, you set icons to bounce, glow, or change color on touch and surprise users. For instance, you can make your icon fill with brand hues to show new content without a noisy alert.

At the same time, you test icon versions in your staging area to compare performance. Data guides you, so each tweak drives real lift instead of guesswork. By checking metrics before launch, you ensure your icons work hard for every download.

Streamline Your Design Workflow with Smart Icon Tools

Cut out multiple artboards and manual exports by using our one-stop versatile design workflows panel. You tweak size, padding, or shadow depth once, and all icon versions update instantly. This move boosts icon design efficiency and saves hours of repetitive work. Also, our adaptive icon generator helps your team keep up with updates and stay creative.

Link the tools to your CI/CD pipeline to run automatic checks on file size, layer order, and contrast. This step catches issues early, so you avoid last-minute fixes. Thus, you protect your brand’s look and roll out updates with confidence. 

Features Of Our Android Adaptive Icons

Our adaptation icon​s are designed to be 108dp by 108dp but are masked to 72dp by 72dp for consistent display. Different device shapes and masks can create variations, so a 66dp diameter circle in the center is considered a safe zone.

Keylines

Keylines ensure visual alignment with common shapes, such as circles, squares, and rectangles, forming the foundation of the icon grid. Reference these keyline shapes:

  • Circles: 52dp & 36dp diameter
  • Square: 44dp by 44dp with a 4dp corner radius
  • Rectangles: 52dp by 36dp and 36dp by 52dp, with a 4dp corner radius

Layers

Our icons consist of a 108dp by 108dp foreground and background layer, with the background being fully opaque. Foreground transparency enables animations and effects, creating a dynamic icon experience.

Icon Layers

Design Considerations

Clipping

Since the mask shape varies, place critical elements within the safe zone and avoid placing important content near mask edges to prevent unwanted clipping.

Background Anchoring

Background Anchoring

Moving background elements independently can create depth. For example, the calculator app anchors the equals button in the background for subtle, layered motion.

Background Anchoring

Masked Masks

Using a solid foreground with cutouts allows backgrounds to shift, revealing different areas. This creates dynamic effects, such as a colorful background peeking through cut-out shapes.

Masked Masks Example

Light & Shadows

Separate shadow layers and lighting effects can create playful depth, though careful planning is necessary to avoid unrealistic interactions. Follow material guidelines for cohesive lighting across icons.

Lighting Effects

Leave Behind Effects

Elements entirely obscured by the foreground can be revealed during motion, providing a unique visual effect.

Adaptive Icons FAQ

Everything you need to know about modern app icons

What are adaptive icons?
They are smart icons that adjust their shape and style on different devices by using separate foreground and background layers for a clean, modern look.
Android iOS Web Desktop

Our icons are ready for Android (API 26+), and you can export them as PNG or SVG for web, iOS, desktop, or any other platform.

  • SVG vectors - Scalable for any resolution
  • PNGs at all standard Android sizes (48×48 dp through 432×432 px)
  • Source files for Figma/Sketch/Illustrator

Android sizes: 108×108 dp, with safe zone at 66×66 dp.

From our site, you can get 1024×1024 px for the App Store as well.

Here are quick ways to turn off these icons on most devices:

  • Samsung One UI: Home → Styles & wallpapers → Edit style → Icons → pick a non-adaptive shape.
  • Nova Launcher: Settings → Look & feel → Icon style = None (or choose a legacy pack).
  • Action Launcher: Settings → Display → turn off "Adaptive icon masks."
  • Other launchers: Install Lawnchair, Apex, etc. → apply your icon pack—shapes stay unchanged.

You supply a 1024×1024 PNG (with transparency) as your app icon, and Expo's build tools generate the two-layer (foreground+background) assets and XML so Android launchers can mask, shape, animate, and theme your icon dynamically.
