App icon and favicon for a SaaS product

A software product needs one mark that works as a tab icon, an installed app icon and a home screen tile. A flat geometric shape on a deep background keeps that mark clean at every size. Nothing is uploaded: every file is made in your browser.

Rounding applies to the browser and Android icons. The touch icon and the maskable icon are always full squares.

Your files appear here as soon as the icon is ready.

Site details and code

Shown when someone installs your site as an app. Up to 45 characters.

Used under the icon on a home screen. Up to 12 characters.

Where you will put the files on your site, such as / or /icons/.

Add this to your root layout (app/layout.tsx).

import type { Metadata, Viewport } from "next";

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  icons: {
    icon: [
      { url: "/assets/icons/favicon.ico", sizes: "48x48", type: "image/x-icon" },
      { url: "/assets/icons/favicon-16x16.png", sizes: "16x16", type: "image/png" },
      { url: "/assets/icons/favicon-32x32.png", sizes: "32x32", type: "image/png" },
    ],
    apple: [
      { url: "/assets/icons/apple-touch-icon.png", sizes: "180x180", type: "image/png" },
    ],
  },
  manifest: "/assets/icons/site.webmanifest",
};

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  themeColor: "#111827",
};

How it works

  1. Choose where the icon comes from

    Type one to three characters, pick an emoji, choose a simple shape, or drop in your own PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG. Nothing is uploaded; the picture stays in this tab.

  2. Style it

    Pick a flat colour or a soft gradient, round the corners, and set the padding. The browser tab icon, the phone home screen icon and the Android icon all update as you change a setting.

  3. Check every file

    Each file is listed with its size and what it is for, so you can see that the touch icon fills its whole square and the Android icon keeps your logo inside the safe circle.

  4. Download and paste

    Download the package as one ZIP, with a plain-language README and ready-made snippets, or take the files one by one. Upload the icons to the folder you typed under Site details, then paste the lines for your HTML, Next.js or WordPress head.

Questions about a SaaS app icon

How do I make a SaaS app icon?

The page opens with a diamond; change it, the colours, the rounding and the padding as you like, and every file updates at once. Then open Site details and code, choose Next.js and copy it. The code already uses the folder /assets/icons/. Pick a shape and one bright colour, and avoid fine details. If it still looks clear at 16 pixels, it will look good everywhere else.

Can I swap the shape for my real logo later?

Yes. Switch the source to Image, add your logo as a PNG or SVG, and every file is made again with the same background, rounding and padding you chose here.

Where do I put the files for a SaaS app icon?

The folder is set to /assets/icons/, a common home for product icons. Keep the manifest in the same folder so its icon paths stay correct.

Is anything uploaded when I make a SaaS app icon?

No. The icons for your SaaS app icon are drawn by your own browser from the settings you pick, so nothing is sent to a server, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.

Show your icon and your site in a device frame

Icons are ready, so show the product itself. Place a screenshot in a clean phone, laptop or browser frame, sized for marketplace and social previews.
