Icon & Launch Image Generator for macOS: Features, Supported Platforms, and Usage Guide
This article introduces a macOS app that automatically generates all required icon and launch image sizes for various platforms, outlines its key features, lists the supported platform rules, describes the user interface, and provides a step‑by‑step guide for preparing source images, selecting platforms, choosing export paths, and exporting the assets.
A complete app needs multiple icon and launch image sizes; traditionally designers create them based on developer specifications, but the author built a macOS tool to automate this process, reducing repetitive manual work.
Generator Features: one‑click generation of a full set of images from a source file, selectable platform rules, customizable export path, and automatic opening of the output folder.
Supported Platforms (v0.3): iPhone AppIcons, iPhone LaunchImages (Portrait & Landscape), iPad AppIcons, iPad LaunchImages (Portrait & Landscape), Mac AppIcons, Apple Watch AppIcons, CarPlay AppIcons, Android AppIcons, Android LaunchImages (Portrait & Landscape) – a total of 12 rule sets.
Interface Overview: the window contains an image frame for the source picture, a platform selector, a path button and text field for export location, and an export button that creates the required assets and opens the folder.
Usage Steps: 1) Prepare a maximum‑size source image (e.g., 1024×1024) and drag it into the image frame; 2) Choose the desired platform rule set (e.g., Mac AppIcons); 3) Select or type an export path; 4) Click the export button to generate and open the images.
