Why an icon tool is useful
App Store icon URLs contain size parameters that are easy to edit incorrectly. The tool shows app name, developer, and icon link so users can confirm they found the correct app.

About Icon Lookup
Every app on the App Store has a high-resolution icon — typically 1024x1024 pixels — stored on Apple's CDN. These icons are perfect for app reviews, design inspiration, mockups, blog posts, or simply appreciating the artwork behind your favorite apps. Our Icon Lookup tool makes it trivially easy to find and copy these icons.
Search by app name or browse by region. The tool queries the iTunes Search API, fetches app metadata including the icon URL, and automatically rewrites it to the 1024x1024 version (the highest resolution Apple serves). Results show the app icon at full resolution, app name, developer, genre, and price.
Each result card includes three actions: "App Store" opens the official listing, "Copy Icon" copies the direct icon URL to your clipboard, and "Full Size" opens the icon at full resolution in a new tab where you can save it. The search supports all major App Store regions for region-specific app discovery.
Tip: some apps use region-specific icons — try switching between US and China App Stores to see if the icon differs. For app bundles or Apple Arcade games, the icon URL may redirect — right-click "Full Size" to save directly. The copied URLs are direct CDN links usable in any browser or design tool.
How It Works
The Icon Lookup tool queries the iTunes Search API to find apps matching your search term, then extracts the icon URL from each app’s artwork metadata. Apple stores app icons on a CDN at multiple resolutions (60x60, 100x100, 512x512, 1024x1024). The tool rewrites the URL to always fetch the 1024x1024 version — the highest resolution Apple serves publicly.
Search queries can target any App Store region. The tool passes the country code parameter to the iTunes Search API, returning results as they appear in that region’s store. This is useful for checking region-specific icons — some apps use different artwork for different markets. The search also supports Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other non-Latin app names.
Each result card provides three quick actions: open the App Store listing, copy the direct icon URL to clipboard, or view the icon at full resolution in a new tab. The direct CDN URLs are permanent (they do not expire) and can be embedded in websites, design mockups, blog posts, or presentation slides without hosting the image yourself.
Pro Tips
- 1024x1024 resolution: the tool automatically rewrites icon URLs to fetch the highest available resolution from Apple CDN.
- Design inspiration: browse icons by genre to study design trends — great for UI/UX designers and app developers.
- Icon history: some apps change icons with major updates. Search periodically to track visual rebranding over time.
- Batch workflow: search, copy icon URL, paste into your design tool — the whole flow takes seconds.
- App discovery: browsing icons often surfaces interesting apps you would not have found through text search alone.
Common Issues
- Icon not loading: some apps use region-specific CDN paths. Try switching to a different App Store region in the search dropdown to see if the icon loads from that region’s CDN.
- Low resolution despite 1024x1024 URL: some very old or obscure apps never uploaded a 1024x1024 icon. In these cases, Apple defaults to the highest available resolution (usually 512x512).
- Icon differs from what you see on device: apps can update their icons with version updates. The tool shows the current App Store icon, which should match the latest version. If not, the CDN may be caching an older version temporarily.
- Apple Arcade and bundle icons: apps distributed exclusively through Apple Arcade or as part of bundles may have different icon URLs. These are still accessible but may redirect through Apple’s offer pages.
Appropriate uses for high-resolution app icons
Icon search helps preview public App Store artwork, design references, and direct icon links. App icons usually belong to the developer or rights holder, so use them responsibly.
Avoid misleading use
Do not use icons to impersonate official apps, mislead downloads, or imply authorization. Commercial designs and review pages should identify the source and link back to the App Store.
When search returns nothing
If no results are found, the page still offers usage guidance and related articles. Ads should not be placed in a pure empty-result area.
How it works
Enter an App Store app ID, bundle ID, or app name into the search field. The tool calls the iTunes Search API (public and rate-limited) to fetch the app's official artwork at the highest available resolution — typically 1024×1024 pixels. It also retrieves the app name, developer, content rating, and App Store link. The icon URL is extracted from the artworkUrl100 field and automatically upscaled to the 1024px variant. Results are cached in your browser session to avoid redundant API calls.
Troubleshooting
No results found: The iTunes Search API may rate-limit frequent requests or return empty results for region-restricted apps. Wait 30 seconds and try again, or verify the app ID is correct by visiting the App Store listing. || Low resolution icon: Some apps do not provide 1024px artwork; the tool falls back to the highest resolution available (512px or 256px). This is not an error — the developer simply did not upload a larger asset. || Wrong app returned: If searching by name, multiple apps may match. Use the exact App Store app ID (numeric) for guaranteed precision.
