This Script-Fu script automatically generates all the required and recommend app icons with the proper names and resolutions for the various iOS devices from a single source image.

For each app icon: the source image* is duplicated, then the duplicated image is scaled, then the scaled duplicate image is exported to a .png file, and finally the scaled duplicate image is deleted. The resulting .png files have the proper names and resolutions for iOS app icons for iPad and iPhone/iPod touch for both normal and retina displays.

*The recommended resolution of the source image is 1024 x 1024

  • Function Name: export-as-ios-retina-and-standard-image
    Menu: File --> Export as iOS --> Image(s) ...
    Export scaled (selectable) iOS image(s) (retina and/or standard) from the active image. The scaling is either square or rectangular. Square scaling results in iOS images that have the width and height equal to the size specified. Rectangular scaling results in iOS image(s) that have either the width or height equal to the size specified and the other dimension scaled proportionally.
