Android Icon size for app



You are also required to give a large version of your icon when uploading your app onto the Google Play Store and this should be WEB 512 x 512. This is so large so that Google can rescale it to any size in order to advertise your app throughout the Google Play Store and not add pixelation to your logo.

Android icons require five separate sizes for different screen pixel densities. Icons for lower resolution are created automatically from the baseline.
