Liquid Glass Icon Generator for Icon Composer
Turn a foreground PNG or SVG into a Liquid Glass .icon bundle for Icon Composer and Xcode 26. Choose background colour and padding, compare approximate light, dark, tinted and clear previews, and export a flattened 1024 × 1024 PNG.
Liquid Glass Icon Generator for Icon Composer: Keeps one foreground image separate from an automatic background gradient supplied by Icon Composer. It centres the artwork with your padding and packages a .icon bundle in a ZIP. Browser previews illustrate rounded squares and a watch circle, with approximate tinted and clear modes. The flattened PNG uses the selected solid base colour and has no glass materials. Preview shape and appearance controls do not change the bundle's settings. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the download in Xcode 26?
Extract the ZIP and open the AppIcon.icon bundle in Icon Composer. Review and save the icon there, then add the .icon bundle to your Xcode project and select it as the app icon. Apple's Icon Composer guide explains the project setup.
Does this editor support layered depth?
It supplies one foreground layer above the background fill. It does not edit multiple layers, depth, refraction, highlights or shadows. Add layers and tune materials in Icon Composer.
Are the previews the final iOS appearance?
