Android adaptive and maskable icons explained

Android launchers crop app and PWA icons into whatever shape the device maker chooses: a circle on Pixel, a squircle on Samsung, a rounded square elsewhere. If your artwork touches the edges, the launcher cuts it off.

The fix is a safe zone. Google's maskable icon spec keeps the important part of the design inside a centre circle that is 80% of the icon's width, and fills the rest with background. Use the padding slider in the studio to keep your glyph inside that area. The circle preview shows how the most aggressive crop will look.

The download includes 192×192 and 512×512 PNGs and a site.webmanifest that references them, which is what Chrome needs to offer "Install app" for a PWA.

How to use it

  1. 1Design your icon with a solid background (not transparent).
  2. 2Increase padding until the glyph sits comfortably inside the circular preview.
  3. 3Download and copy the android-chrome PNGs and site.webmanifest to your public folder.
  4. 4Test the manifest in Chrome DevTools under Application → Manifest.

Modern Icon Packages vs. ICO/PNG-Only Converters

Web standards have evolved. A single fixed-size PNG or ICO looks soft on high-density screens and can disappear on dark browser tabs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a maskable PWA icon?

Maskable icons include extra safe-zone padding so the Android launcher can crop them into circles, squircles, or rounded rectangles without clipping the logo.

What padding should a maskable icon use?

Keep the important artwork inside the centre 80% circle. In practice a padding of about 10–15% in the studio keeps most glyphs safe on every launcher shape.

Does this generate native Android launcher layers?

The bundle includes ic_launcher PNGs and PWA manifest icons. For a native Android app, use Android Studio's Image Asset tool to build separate foreground, background and monochrome layers from the 512 px PNG.
