How to use this for Expo projects

The goal is to move from concept to launch-ready iOS and Android assets with the fewest manual steps possible.

1

Generate an icon direction

Start with a prompt that describes your product clearly, then choose the best icon concept and refine the background or shape as needed.

2

Export the platform files you need

Download the ZIP and keep the iOS and Android outputs together so your Expo project has a single source of truth for icon assets.

3

Map the exported assets into Expo config

Use the exported files when updating your app configuration for icon and adaptive icon fields in your Expo project.

{
  "expo": {
    "icon": "./assets/icon.png",
    "android": {
      "adaptiveIcon": {
        "foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
        "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
      }
    }
  }
}

Expo App Icon FAQ

Why use a dedicated Expo app icon page instead of the generic homepage?
Because Expo users usually want a direct answer to a specific workflow question: how to create one icon direction and turn it into the iOS and Android assets their project needs.
Can I use the same generated icon for iOS and Android in Expo?
Yes. This page is designed around that need. You create one concept, then export the platform-specific files each target expects.
Does this help with Android adaptive icons for Expo?
Yes. The export workflow is designed to support Android launcher and adaptive icon outputs so you can avoid separate manual prep.
Do I need design software after generating the icon?
Usually no. The goal is to reduce the extra resizing and packaging work that developers often do in separate tools.
