App Icon Size for Google Pixel 8
Android 14 · Google Play Console
The complete, up-to-date icon size requirements for Google Pixel 8 in 2026. Every pixel dimension for Google Play Console — plus format requirements and common mistakes.
Google Pixel 8 running Android 14 uses adaptive icons with multiple density buckets to ensure crisp display across various screen contexts. The 512×512px master icon serves as your Google Play Console asset, while smaller sizes (192px, 144px, 96px, 72px, 48px, 36px) handle launcher, settings, and notification scenarios. Android's adaptive icon system crops your design into circular, rounded square, or other shapes based on device manufacturer preferences. Pixel 8 specifically emphasizes the 192×192px and 96×96px variants for primary launcher display, making these critical for user recognition and brand consistency.

Common Mistakes for Google Pixel 8 Icons
Three critical mistakes plague Pixel 8 app icon submissions: First, designing within the entire 512×512px canvas instead of the safe zone, causing important elements to be cropped by adaptive icon masks. Second, using identical designs across all density sizes rather than optimizing details—text becomes illegible when 512px designs are simply scaled to 36×36px. Third, ignoring PNG alpha transparency requirements, submitting icons with white backgrounds that appear as solid rectangles instead of properly masked adaptive icons, breaking Android 14's dynamic theming integration.
