Tauri V2 Icons

Tauri V2 icon toolkit — validate icon files against Tauri V2 platform requirements and generate all required platform icons from a source PNG/SVG. Use when: (1) Checking if PNG/ICO/ICNS icon files meet Tauri V2 specs, (2) Generating Windows (.ico), macOS (.icns), Linux (.png), Android, and iOS icons from a source image, (3) User mentions "Tauri icon", "app icon", "generate icons", "check icons", "icon.ico", "icon.icns", "tauri icon 生成", "检查图标".

File contents

Tauri V2 Icon Toolkit

Two scripts covering the full icon workflow for Tauri V2 apps:

scripts/check_icon.py — validate against Tauri V2 specs
scripts/generate_icon.py — generate all platform icons from a source

Full spec reference: references/tauri-icon-spec.md — read when detailed format requirements are needed beyond what the scripts report.

Decision: Check or Generate?

User provides a single large PNG/SVG → Generate all platform icons
User provides a .ico, .icns, or small .png → Check against Tauri V2 specs
User asks "is this valid?" → Check
User asks "generate/make/create icons" → Generate

Check Icons

python scripts/check_icon.py <file-or-directory>

Input	Behavior
Source PNG (>=256px)	Check square, RGBA, 32-bit, size >=512px
`.ico`	Verify 6 required layers (16/24/32/48/64/256) + 32px first frame
`.icns`	Verify 11 required OSTypes (icp4~ic14) with correct pixel sizes
Output directory	Recursively check ICO, ICNS, desktop PNGs, Android, iOS

Generate Icons

python scripts/generate_icon.py <source.png> [-o <output_dir>]

Flags: --no-desktop, --no-android, --no-ios

Requires Pillow (pip install Pillow). Source must be square RGBA PNG, >=512px (1024px recommended).

Output structure:

<output>/
├── icon.ico              # Windows: 6 layers, 32px first
├── icon.icns             # macOS: 11 OSTypes + TOC
├── desktop/              # Linux: 32x32, 128x128, 128x128@2x, icon.png
├── android/{mdpi..xxxhdpi}/  # launcher, round, foreground
└── ios/                  # 18 AppIcons, no alpha (white bg)

SVG Source

SVG is not directly supported. Rasterize to 1024x1024 RGBA PNG first, then run generate:

import cairosvg
cairosvg.svg2png(url="source.svg", write_to="app-icon.png", output_width=1024, output_height=1024)

For complex SVGs (gradients, filters), render via a headless browser for accurate rasterization, then convert to RGBA with Pillow.

Common Pitfalls

ICO first frame: Tauri runtime only reads entries()[0]. If 256px is first, window icon scales down → blurry. Always place 32px first.
iOS alpha: iOS AppIcons must have no transparency. The generate script composites onto white background automatically.
ICNS naming: icp6 is 64x64 (not 48x48 as in some Apple docs); the tauri-icns crate uses 64x64.
Source not RGBA: If source is RGB, the generate script auto-converts to RGBA but warns. Ensure the source has an alpha channel for proper transparency.
HDMI launcher size: 72px (standard Android 1.5x), not 49px as occasionally misreported.
