Interface icons
Basically, there are no strict regulations about the size of the interface icon in iOS. You just need to adjust it to your app interface hierarchy and keep it consistent throughout the entire app. Here is a list of common sizes:
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512px x 512px @2x
- 128px x 128px @1x, 256px x 256px @2x
- 32px x 32px @1x, 64px x 64px @2x
- 16px x 16px @1x, 32px x 32px @2x
You can find all the basics about interface icons for iOS at the SF Symbols page.
Couldn’t find the icon you need in the main catalog from Apple? Here are custom-made:
- SF symbols by Icons8
- iOS icons by Icons8
| @2x (pixels) | @3x (pixels) iPhone only | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 120×120 | 180×180 | Home Screen |
| 80×80 | 120×120 | Spotlight |
| 58×58 | 87×87 | Settings |
| 76×76 | 114×114 | Notifications |
App icon
Note: don’t put any additional border or overlay on your Settings icon. iOS automatically adds a 1-pixel stroke to all icons to look good on Settings’ white background.
iPadOS
iPadOS has similar requirements to iOS. See general Apple guidelines here.
Interface icons
Interface icon sizes used in iPadOS are also similar to iOS ones. To make sure, keep this list in mind:
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512px x 512px @2x
- 128px x 128px @1x, 256px x 256px @2x
- 32px x 32px @1x, 64px x 64px @2x
- 16px x 16px @1x, 32×32 px @2x
Before creating your own icons, check this 10K+ icons catalog from Icons8 made by Apple guidelines.
App icon
Like iOS, here is the general tip: don’t add any border or overlay to the Settings icon cause the system will automatically add a stroke 1-pixel thickness around it. Use a standardized one from the SF Symbols list, or design yours with these sizes in mind:
| @2x (pixels) | Usage |
|---|---|
| 167×167 | Home Screen on iPad Pro |
| 152×152 | Home Screen on iPad, iPad mini |
| 80×80 | Spotlight on iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini |
| 58×58 | Settings on iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini |
| 76×76 | Notifications on iPad Pro, iPad, iPad mini |
Android
Android is a mobile OS made by Google. The UI design is based on the Material Design System. Here, you can check the full guidelines for the latest version, Material 3. The following works with both smartphones and tablets operating on Android.
Interface icons
Google uses dp to measure the size of icons. 1dp is basically equal to 1px on the 160dpi screen. If, for example, your interface is viewed on a 320dpi screen, 1px will be equal here to 2dp, and so on.
| Icon size | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 24dp | Pixel-perfect standard (Baseline) icon size |
| 20dp | Additional small-scale visuals |
| 40dp and 48dp | For display or headline type and larger screen sizes |
Here are some handy sources to check:
- Material icons by Icons8
- Material icons catalog on Google Fonts
- Material icons Figma plugin from Google
- Design principles for icons in Material design
App icons
Quick format check to follow in your Android app icon design:
- Final artwork size: 512px x 512px
- Format: 32-bit PNG
- Color space: sRGB
- Max file size: 1024KB
Google Play automatically applies a 20% squared corner radius to your app icon. Ensure that all important parts of your design fit 384px x 384px, and nothing will be cut. A shadow mask will also be applied automatically, so upload your artwork without it.
Other than that, Google doesn’t allow you to use additional text or graphic elements on your app icon that:
- indicate your app ranking
- promote deals or incentivize installs
- indicate participation in a Play program
- can mislead users.
For more information, check Google Play icon design specifications.
HarmonyOS
HarmonyOS is the operating system developed by Huawei. The main idea is based on full adaptivity. This means that using the same system capabilities, you can apply it to all kinds of devices, including mobile phones, tablets, PCs, smart TVs, wearables, smart speakers, head units, earphones, and AR/VR glasses. This makes a bit of a difference in the interface design. All elements are measured not in pixels but in vp (virtual pixels) to ensure that all interface elements have a consistent visual volume on devices with different densities. But keep in mind that you need specific icon maker software to produce elements of this type.
Interface icons
The final size of the system icon in HarmonyOS is 24vp with 1vp of space reserved around the drawing area. The drawing area depends on the shape of your graphics, which is:
| Shape | Sizing |
|---|---|
| Square | 20vp x 20vp |
| Circle | ⌀ 22vp |
| Horizontal rectangle | 22vp x 18vp |
| Vertical rectangle | 18vp x 22vp |
See the full guide for the interface icons on the official HarmonyOS portal.
App icon
HarmonyOS app icons adopt the neumorphism design approach, so using a semi-transparent blur effect and layered design techniques is preferable. The system automatically applies an adaptive mask to unify icons.
The final artwork should be uploaded in *.png. Here is the sizing:
| Icon size | Usage scenario |
|---|---|
| 512px x 512px | App main page preview in AppGallery |
| 216px x 216px | App preview in the list in AppGallery |
| 40vp x 40vp (120px x 120px, @3x) | Settings screen |
| 16vp x 16vp (48px x 48px, @3x) | Notification |

MacOS
Here is Apple’s guide for designing macOS apps.
Interface icons
Standard sizes for all system icons in the Apple ecosystem are the following:
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512×512 px @2x
- 128×128 px @1x, 256×256 px @2x
- 32×32 px @1x, 64×64 px @2x
- 16×16 px @1x, 32×32 px @2x
You can find all the basics about interface icons for macOS at the SF Symbols page.
Couldn’t find the icon you need in the main catalog from Apple? Here are custom-made:
- SF symbols by Icons8
- iOS icons by Icons8
App icon
Use the drop shadow in the icon-design template. The app-icon template includes the system-defined drop shadow that helps your app icon coordinate with other macOS icons.
Create a 1024px x 1024px version of your macOS app icon for the App Store. In addition, you also need to supply the icon in the following sizes.
| @1x (pixels) | @2x (pixels) |
|---|---|
| 512×512 | 1024×1024 |
| 256×256 | 512×512 |
| 128×128 | 256×256 |
| 32×32 | 64×64 |
| 16×16 | 32×32 |
Learn more about the design guide for macOS app icons here.
Document icons
If your macOS app can use a custom document type, you can create a document icon to represent it. It looks like a piece of paper with its top-right corner folded down. This helps people distinguish documents from apps and other content, even when icon sizes are small.
You can supply a combination of background fill, center image, and text to create a custom document icon.
Sizes for the background fill image:
- 512px x 512px @1x, 1024px x 1024px @2x
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512px x 512px @2x
- 128px x 128px @1x, 256px x 256px @2x
- 32px x 32px @1x, 64px x 64px @2x
- 16px x 16px @1x, 32px x 32px @2x
Center images (pictogram) sizes:
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512px x 512px @2x
- 128px x 128px @1x, 256px x 256px @2x
- 32px x 32px @1x, 64px x 64px @2x
- 16px x 16px @1x, 32px x 32px @2x
Define a margin that measures about 10% of the image canvas and keep most of the image within it. Although parts of the image can extend into this margin for optical alignment, it’s best when the image occupies about 80% of the image canvas. For example, most of the center image in a 256px x 256px canvas would fit in an area that measures 205px x 205px.
You can use minimalistic icons from the Icons8 pack designed by Apple’s guidelines for your center image. The complete guide for macOS custom document icon design is here.
Windows
The complete info about icons used in Windows OS apps is on the official Microsoft page.
Interface icons
Windows 11 introduces a new system icon font, Segoe Fluent Icons. All glyphs in Segoe Fluent Icons are drawn in a monoline style. That means they’re created through a single stroke of 1epx.
For easier usage, the size of the icon complements the font size around it. For example, if you use 16pt font, put a 16epx *.svg icon next to it.
You can check these colored Windows 11 icons that fit with Microsoft guidelines.
App icon
When Windows displays your app’s icon, it will first look for an exact size match. If there is no match, it will look for the next size above and scale down. Including more icon sizes with your app means Windows will more often have a pixel-perfect match and reduce the amount of scaling applied to scaled icons.
| Windows 11 scale factor | 100% | 125% | 150% | 200% | 250% | 300% | 400% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Context menu, title bar, system tray | 16px | 20px | 24px | 32px | 40px | 48px | 64px |
| Taskbar, search results, Start all apps list |
24px | 30px | 36px | 48px | 60px | 72px | 96px |
| Start pins | 32px | 40px | 48px | 64px | 80px | 96px | 256px |
Here is the complete list of icons and variations for Windows OS.
Linux
Being an open-source OS made by developers, Linux doesn’t have its own human interface. Several significant contributors provide Linux users with an interface. In this article, we will cover the most popular.
GNOME
The largest human interface contributor to Linux. You can find GNOME Human Interface Guidelines here.
Interface icons
GNOME UI icons use the “symbolic” style. This is simple and monochrome and is designed to work well in smaller sizes. As an example of such minimalistic icons, you can use this pack by Icons8, which is designed for small interfaces and is not overloaded by too many details.
This is a list of all preferable sizes of symbolics:
- 16px x 16px
- 32px x 32px
- 64px x 64px
- 128px x 128px
The GNOME team strongly recommends using these sizes only and *.svg format to prevent fuzzy rendering.
See the main UI icons guide on the GNOME website.
App icons
GNOME’s app icon’s standard size is 128px × 128px. But the icon itself shouldn’t fill this space entirely. Follow the guides in the app icon template, and ensure your icon has a similar visual weight to other app icons.
App icons are defined at 128px × 128px but are typically viewed at 64px × 64px and can be scaled down to 32px × 32px. Therefore, avoid adding too much detail, as this will be lost at small sizes.
The official guideline is here.
KDE
Unlike any other guidelines in this article, the KDE design system divides icons into colorful and monochromatic types. Each has a separate design guide.
Interface icons
The size of the icon depends on the purpose:
| Icons type | Size in pixels | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Monochromatic | 16×16 | Menu items Tabs Buttons |
| 22×22 | ToolButtons | |
| Colorful | 32×32 | Category Preferences Places icons |
| 64×64 | MIME-type Devices Status icons |
Application icons
Application icons always use the colorful icon style. Their baseline size is 48 pixels.
Learn more about app icon design guidelines on the KDE website.
Elementary OS
Probably, the Linux contributor with the richest design environment.
Interface icons
Design each icon for the size it’s meant to be viewed at. So the Elementary team recommends you design icons in each size individually. Here is Dustin Curtis’ article, Pixel-fitting, that can help you with that.
The main system sizes for icons in Elementary OS are:
- 16px x 16px
- 24px x 24px
- 32px x 32px
- 48px x 48px
- 64px x 64px
- 128px x 128px
This sizing is also applied to the app icons. Note: only the colored icon can be used as the application pic. For more information, check the complete guide here.
Wearable gadgets
- Watch OS
- Wear OS
- HarmonyOS for watch
- visionOS
Watch OS
Apple doesn’t have any additional considerations for the watchOS since it uses iOS icon guidelines.
Interface icons
Here is a list of standard sizes:
- 256px x 256px @1x, 512px x 512px @2x
- 128px x 128px @1x, 256px x 256px @2x
- 32px x 32px @1x, 64px x 64px @2x
- 16px x 16px @1x, 32ps x 32px @2x
You can find all the basics about interface icons for iOS at the SF Symbols page.
Couldn’t find the icon you need in the main catalog from Apple? Here are custom-made:
- SF symbols by Icons8

If you have a companion iPhone app, you must also supply your watchOS app icon in the following sizes.
| @2x (pixels) | @3x (pixels) |
|---|---|
| 58×58 | 87×87 |
You can find the official guidelines here.
Wear OS
Wear OS follows Material Design principles for iconography.
Interface icons
Interface icons for Wear OS are the same size as the main Android UI icons.
| Icon size | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 24dp | Pixel-perfect standard (Baseline) icon size |
| 20dp | Additional small-scale visuals |
| 40d and 48dp | For display or headline type and larger screen sizes |
Here are some handy sources to check:
- Material icons by Icons8
- Material icons catalog on Google Fonts
- Material icons Figma plugin from Google
- Design principles for icons in Material design
App icons
Since applications for Wear OS are available at the main Google Play app store, the sizing and format for the app icons here are the same as for Android.
- Final artwork size: 512px x 512px
- Format: 32-bit PNG
- Color space: sRGB
- Max file size: 1024KB
Google Play automatically applies a 20% squared corner radius to your app icon. Ensure that all important parts of your design fit 384px x 384px, and nothing will be cut. A shadow mask will also be applied automatically, so upload your artwork without it.
For more, check Google Play icon design specifications.
HarmonyOS for watch
Since the most important feature of this OS is about full adaptivity of the interface, HarmonyOS for watch icons guidelines is no different from HarmonyOS for other devices.
Interface icons
The final size of the system icon in HarmonyOS is 24vp with 1vp of space reserved around the drawing area. The drawing area depends on the shape of your graphics, which is:
| Shape | Sizing |
|---|---|
| Square | 20vp x 20vp |
| Circle | ⌀ 22vp |
| Horizontal rectangle | 22vp x 18vp |
| Vertical rectangle | 18vp x 22vp |
| Basic line width | 1.5vp |
See the full guide for the interface icons on the official HarmonyOS portal.
App icon
This icon type is consistent with that on the mobile phone home screen. Use round backdrops.
- Backdrop (slice) size: 76vp (transparent blank area around the backdrop)
- Icon size: 60vp.
The final artwork should be uploaded in *.png. Here is the sizing:
| Icon size | Usage scenario |
|---|---|
| 512px x 512px | Message notification on the locked screen |
| 104px x 104px | Launcher icon |
| 92px x 92px | Message notification details |
| 56px x 56px | Message notification level-2 list |
| 40px x 40px | Message notification level-1 list |
Check out the comprehensive app icon official guide here.
visionOS
Apple Vision Pro is all about new, multi-dimensional experiences, so its apps should also fit this new concept of “Spatial user interface.” Check Apple’s introduction video to learn the basics about this concept.
Interface icons
For the UI icons in visionOS use the standard list of sizing requirements that is general for all OS’s in the Apple ecosystem:
| @2x (pixels) | Usage |
|---|---|
| 120×120 | Home Screen |
| 80×80 | Spotlight |
| 58×58 | Settings |
| 76×76 | Notifications |
More about it here.
App icons
A visionOS app icon is circular. It includes up to three layers:
- background layer
- one or two layers on top
Altogether, it produces the 3D effect. All layers should be provided separately as flat, squared images. Apple recommends designing mostly center-oriented layers for the best volume effect. More about this on Apple’s website.
Create an app icon that measures 1024px x 1024px for display in the Home View.
TV
- tvOS
- Android TV
- Tizen OS
tvOS
Here are the main guidelines from Apple about designing for tvOS.
Interface icons
TvOS uses the list of sizing requirements that are standard for most OS’s in the Apple ecosystem:
| @2x (pixels) | Usage |
|---|---|
| 120×120 | Home Screen |
| 80×80 | Spotlight |
| 58×58 | Settings |
| 76×76 | Notifications |
More about it here.
App icons
App icons use the PNG format and support the following color spaces:
- sRGB (color)
- Gray Gamma 2.2 (grayscale)
In addition, app icons in tvOS support Display P3 (wide-gamut color).
The sizing is the following:
| @1x (pixels) | @2x (pixels) | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 400×240 | 800×480 | Home Screen |
Android TV
Like for Android for smartphones, for Android TV, Google uses Material 3 as the main guidelines.
Interface icons
System icons are measured in dp. 1dp is basically equal to 1px on the 160dpi screen. If, for example, your interface is viewed on a 320dpi screen, 1px will be equal here to 2dp, and so on.
| Icon size | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 24dp | Pixel-perfect standard (Baseline) icon size |
| 20dp | Additional small-scale visuals |
| 40d and 48dp | For display or headline type and larger screen sizes |
Here are some handy sources to check:
- Material icons by Icons8
- Material icons catalog on Google Fonts
- Material icons Figma plugin from Google
- Design principles for icons in Material design
App icons
There are two formats to consider: banners and launcher icons for Android TV.
Banner
The Banner logo is a 16×9 aspect ratio logo used in Android TV OS to show your app launcher. You can also provide xhdpi resources with the size of 320px x 180px when using API level 25 or lower.
| Density | Min Size | Pixel Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| mdpi | 160px x 90px | 1 |
| hdpi | 240px x 135px | 1.5 |
| xhdpi | 320px x 180px | 2 |
| xxhdpi | 480px x 270px | 3 |
| xxxhdpi | 640px x 360px | 4 |
Launcher icon
The Launcher icon is a 1×1 aspect ratio resource used in multiple places, such as Settings and Media session integrations (Now playing card) on Android TV. The launcher icon can also be used in the Your Apps row on Google TV.
| Density | Min Size | Pixel Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| mdpi | 80×80 px | 1 |
| hdpi | 120×120 px | 1.5 |
| xhdpi | 160×160 px | 2 |
| xxhdpi | 240×240 px | 3 |
| xxxhdpi | 320×320 px | 4 |
A full guide on creating app icons for Android TV is here.
Tizen OS
Most of the Samsung Smaty TVs use Tizen OS. This open-source operational system allows you to customize your app for it freely.
Interface icons
There are no strict rules about interface icon sizing in Tizen Os for smart TVs. Here is the list of the most common sizes used depending on the screen type:
| Resolution | Icon asset size (pixels) |
|---|---|
| HD | 118 x 118 |
| WQHD | 236×236 |
| WVGA | 81×81 |
Check full guides on the main developer’s website.
App icons
The main icon should have the following properties:
- File format: PNG file with a transparent background
- Size for a WVGA-screen device: 82px x 82px
- Size for the Tizen Store: 512px x 512px
NOTE: Always surround each icon with 2 pixels of transparent free space.
An application icon for Samsung Smart TV for 2016 model groups and later has two images. To correctly display your application icon on 2016 Samsung Smart TVs and later, you must comply with the conditions:
| Required File | Image Size (px) | Image Format |
|---|---|---|
| Logo Image | 1920×1080 | 32-bit PNG (RGBA) |
| Background Image | 1920×1080 | 24-bit PNG (RGB) |
Summary
When designing the app, always check the requirements of each OS since they sometimes can be tricky.
For an easier way, you can always choose icons from the main OS’s catalog:
- SF Symbols 5 by Apple
- Material symbols on Google fonts
- WinUI Gallery sources by Microsoft
You also can use these custom-made icons:
- SF Symbols Regular
- SF Symbols Regular filled
- Material Filled
- Material Outline
- Material Two-tone
- Windows 11 Color
- Windows 11 Outline
- Windows 11 Filled
- Windows Metro

A Quick & Easy guide to Microsoft Windows Icon Size
There is sometimes a little confusion over the different sizes required to create a Windows 7 Application Icon file. This is in some way brought about by the flexibility of the ICO format and its ability to ‘contain’ many image sizes and colour depths but is also not helped by Microsoft’s own quite poor documentation on Windows Icon Size, see here.
If you want to create an Windows 7 Compliant ‘Application Icon’, to be used as a short-cut, a file type, or embedded in an executable file, it must contain the minimum following icon sizes:
Standard Windows Icon Size for ICO format
- 256 x 256 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency)
- 48 x 48 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency)
- 32 x 32 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency)
- 16 x 16 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency)
To allow for backwards compatibility with Windows operating systems of software with a limited colour palette, you can also include the above icon sizes in 8bit (256 colours, 1bit colour transparency) and if you really wish to cover all eventualities in your icon design, 4bit (16 colours, 1bit transparency). This last colour depth is very rarely of use and as a rule I don’t tend to include it unless requested specifically by the client as it just uses up unnecessary space. In fact, more often than not, 32bit ICO files are fine for most projects but I recommend you test in the final application before making this decision.

From a single icon to launch an app to a suite of icons for your website or software, we create icons for all platforms and all devices.
Let’s talk icon design
Additional Common Windows Icon Sizes
There are other additional Icon sizes supported by Windows Icons but they are rarely used. However, I will list them here for completion.
Extra Icon Sizes
- 128 x 128 pixels
- 96 x 96 pixels
- 180 x 180 pixels
- 72 x 72 pixels
- 64 x 64 pixels
- 24 x 24 pixels
The size most commonly used size on this list is ’24 x 24′ as it is a standard size for menus within Windows 7 and 3rd-party software. When creating ICO files specifically for menus, rather than app icons, 16 x 16, 24 x 24 & 32 x 32 are the three most common sizes used.
Testing your Windows 7 Icon
The easiest way to test the compatibility of your Windows 7 ICO files is in a standard ‘Window’.
Save your ICO files into a folder and then use the ‘View’ drop down to select the view or size of icon you wish to see.
Windows 7 automatically scales the icons as you move between the sizes you have created. You can test this by moving the slider up and down.
The actual sizes displayed at each of the headings are as follows:
- Extra Large Icons – 256 x 256 pixels
- Large Icons – 96 x 96 pixels (Automatically rendered by Windows from 256 version)
- Medium Icons – 48 x 48 pixels
- Small Icons – 16 x 16 pixels
- List – 16 x 16 pixels
- Details – 16 x 16 pixels
- Tiles – 48 x 48 pixels
- Content – 32 x 32 pixels
Windows Icon Size Oddities
ICO files can also be used as overlays within Windows 7, a prime example is the small curved arrow used as a short-cut symbol on ‘Shortcut’ icons. Windows overlays a transparent ICO file with a small offset graphic within the bottom left corner, on top of the standard Application ICO file. Annotations is another case applying to the bottom right hand side but I have never come across a request from a client to create icons of this description in the 15 or so years I have been an icon designer, so it is not something I would lose any sleep over.
I hope you found this overview useful.

Icons too small or too large? Change things up to get the size just right
Updated on April 19, 2024
What to Know
- Change desktop icon sizes: Right-click on the desktop-> go to View -> choose an icon size.
- Change file icon sizes: Go to Start -> File Explorer -> View -> Layout. Select an icon size.
This article explains how to change the size of icons on the desktop and File Explorer in Windows 10.
How to Change Desktop Icon Sizes in Windows 10
Your desktop is part of Windows 10 that hosts shortcuts to the Recycle Bin and your favorite apps. These shortcuts are represented by icons that can be made larger or smaller to match your tastes.
-
On the Windows 10 desktop, right-click anywhere to bring up a menu. Select View.
-
Select Large icons, Medium icons, or Small icons to change the size of the icons on your desktop.
Your current Windows 10 icon size setting has a black dot next to it in the menu.
-
After selecting an icon size, the icons on the desktop resize automatically. You can repeat this process as many times as you like to get your icons looking the way you want.
How to Change Windows 10 File Icon Sizes
When browsing your Windows 10 device’s folders in the File Explorer or when looking for a file to upload to an app or website such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, or Twitch, it can be helpful to adjust the size of the file icons to make it easier to locate the file you need.
-
Open File Explorer from the Windows 10 Start Menu.
Depending on your Start Menu settings, the link to File Explorer may appear as a small icon that looks like a folder. You can also type «File Explorer» into the Windows search box to open File Explorer.
-
Select the View tab on the File Explorer window.
-
In the Layout section, point to Extra large icons, Large icons, Medium-sized icons, Small icons, List, Details, Tiles and Content. As you do, all the icons preview the selected size so you can see how each option will display.
-
Select the icon size you want to apply it.
Your icon size preferences are folder-specific in the File Explorer. For example, if you want the Extra large icons option enabled for every folder, you’ll need to change each one manually.

Иконки на рабочем столе Windows 10, а также в проводнике и на панели задач имеют «стандартный» размер, который может подходить не всем пользователям. Конечно, можно использовать опции масштабирования, но не всегда это оптимальный способ, чтобы изменить размер ярлыков и других иконок.
В этой инструкции подробно способах изменить размер значков на рабочем столе Windows 10, в проводнике и на панели задач, а также дополнительная информация, которая может оказаться полезной: например, как поменять начертание и размер шрифта у значков. Также может быть полезно: Как изменить размер шрифта в Windows 10.

Изменение размера значков на рабочем столе Windows 10
Самый распространенный вопрос пользователей касается изменение размера иконок на рабочем столе Windows 10. Сделать это можно несколькими способами.
Первый и достаточно очевидный метод состоит из следующих шагов
- Нажмите правой кнопкой мыши в любом пустом месте рабочего стола.
- В меню «Вид» выберите крупные, обычные или мелкие значки.
Это установит соответствующий размер иконок. Однако, доступны всего три опции, и настройка иного размера таким способом недоступна.
Если требуется увеличить или уменьшить значки на рабочем столе Windows 10 в более широком диапазоне (в том числе сделать их меньше, чем «мелкие» или крупнее, чем «крупные»), сделать это тоже очень просто:
- Находясь на рабочем столе, нажмите и удерживайте клавиши Ctrl на клавиатуре.
- Вращайте колесико мыши вверх или вниз для увеличения или уменьшения размера значков соответственно. При отсутствии мыши (на ноутбуке) используйте жест прокрутки тачпада (обычно вверх-вниз в крайней правой части тачпада или вверх-вниз двумя пальцами одновременно в любом месте сенсорной панели). На скриншоте ниже показаны сразу и очень большие и очень маленькие иконки.

В проводнике
Для того, чтобы изменить размер значков в проводнике Windows 10 доступны все те же способы, что были описаны для значков рабочего стола. Дополнительно, в меню «Вид» проводника присутствует пункт «Огромные значки» и опции отображения в виде списка, таблицы или плитки (на рабочем столе такие пункты отсутствуют).
При увеличении или уменьшении размеров значков в проводнике есть одна особенность: изменяются размеры только в текущей папке. Если требуется применить те же размеры для всех остальных папок, используйте следующий метод:
- После настройки устраивающего вас размера в окне проводника нажмите по пункту меню «Вид», откройте «Параметры» и нажмите «Изменить параметры папок и поиска».
- В параметрах папок откройте вкладку «Вид» и нажмите кнопку «Применить к папкам» в разделе «Представление папок» и согласитесь с применением текущих параметров отображения ко всем папкам в проводнике.
После этого во всех папках значки будут отображаться в том же виде, как и в настроенной вами папке (Примечание: срабатывает для простых папок на диске, к системным папкам, к таким как «Загрузки», «Документы», «Изображения» и другие параметры придется применять отдельно).
Как изменить размеры значков на панели задач
К сожалению, возможностей изменения размера значков на панели задач Windows 10 не так много, но всё-таки это возможно.
Если вам требуется уменьшить значки, для этого достаточно нажать правой кнопкой мыши в любом пустом месте панели задач и открыть пункт контекстного меню «Параметры панели задач». В открывшемся окне параметров панели задач включите пункт «Использовать маленькие кнопки панели задач».
С увеличением значков в данном случае сложнее: единственный способ сделать это системными средствами Windows 10 — использовать параметры масштабирования (при этом также будет изменен и масштаб других элементов интерфейса):
- Нажмите правой кнопкой мыши в любом свободном месте на рабочем столе и выберите пункт меню «Параметры экрана».
- В разделе «Масштаб и разметка» укажите больший масштаб или используйте «Настраиваемое масштабирование» для указания масштаба, отсутствующего в списке.
После изменения масштаба потребуется выйти и снова зайти в систему, чтобы изменения вступили в силу, результат может выглядеть примерно как на скриншоте ниже.
Дополнительная информация
При изменении размеров значков на рабочем столе и в проводнике Windows 10 описываемыми способами, подписи к ним остаются прежнего размера, а горизонтальные и вертикальные интервалы задаются системой. Но при желании это можно изменить.
Первый из способов: зайти в Параметры — Специальные возможности и в разделе «Дисплей» изменить размер шрифта для системных элементов Windows 10, включая подписи к значкам.
Второй вариант — использовать бесплатную утилиту Winaero Tweaker, в которой в разделе Advanced Appearance Setup (дополнительные настройки оформления) присутствует пункт Icons, позволяющий настроить:
- Horizontal spacing и Vertical Spacing — горизонтальный и вертикальный интервалы между значками соответственно.
- Шрифт, используемый для подписей к иконкам, где возможно выбрать сам шрифт, отличный от системного, его размер и начертание (полужирный, курсив и т.п.).
После применения настроек (кнопка Apply Changes) потребуется выйти из системы и снова зайти, чтобы сделанные изменения отобразились. Подробнее о программе Winaero Tweaker и о том, где её скачать в обзоре: Настройка поведения и оформления Windows 10 в Winaero Tweaker.
