3D logo for an app icon
An app icon needs a square, high-contrast render of the mark with no text and no thin strokes. On 3DLogo.io, export a transparent PNG of the 3D logo: 1024 × 1024 is free (with a small 3dlogo.io mark), and Pro exports 2K and 4K with nothing on the image.

What an app icon needs from the export
| Requirement | What to do on 3DLogo.io |
|---|---|
| Size | 1024 × 1024 px covers the App Store and Play Store source icon sizes as published by Apple and Google (checked August 2026); export square PNG at 1024 on Free or 2048 and 4096 on Pro and let the platform downscale. |
| Background | Transparent PNG, then place the mark on a flat or gradient tile in your icon tool. Do not bake a scene background into the icon. |
| Style | Chrome, glass, or a single-colour plastic. Holographic and gradients lose their effect below 60 px; brushed metal grain disappears. |
| Shape | A bold mark with no strokes thinner than about 1/20 of the width; raise depth and add a small bevel so the edge highlight survives downscaling. |
| Watermark | Free exports carry a small 3dlogo.io mark in the corner. Pro removes it; an icon should be exported on Pro. |
Styles that suit this use
- Chrome 3D logo: Neutral mirror finish; the usual icon choice.
- Glass 3D logo: Frosted glass over a flat tile reads as a native-style icon.
How to make it on 3DLogo.io
- Open the editor and upload the mark as SVG (or a high-contrast PNG).
- Choose Chrome Clean or Frosted Glass; set the environment to studio.
- Frame the mark square in the viewport (press F to frame).
- Export PNG with transparency at 1024 px (Free) or 2048 / 4096 px (Pro).
- Compose the icon tile and safe area in your icon tool and upload to the store.
Conditions and limitations
The editor exports the render, not a finished icon set: masking to a rounded square, safe-area padding, and per-platform sizes happen in your icon tool. Free exports include the 3dlogo.io mark, which is not acceptable on a shipped icon.
Questions
- Can I export the icon without the 3dlogo.io mark?
- Yes, on Pro. Free stills carry a small mark in the corner; Pro exports have nothing on them and go up to 4K.
- Does the editor make the rounded-square mask?
- No. Export a transparent PNG and apply the platform mask in your icon tool; the platform applies its own corner radius on device.
- Which style survives at 29 px?
- Chrome and single-colour plastic. Effects that depend on angle or fine grain do not read at small sizes.
