Since the iOS 7 releases, the app icon has changed from rounded rectangle to super-ellipse.

changes on the rounded corners

My question is how to draw a super-ellipse in the most effective way? Is there any iOS library/project to implement super-ellipse drawing? Here is the formula mentioned by Remy.

You don't need to draw a super-eclipse.

Draw your icon as a square and Apple will do that for you.

You can use this website to create all icons with the good size and good name for iOS 6, 7 and Android.

EDIT :

But, if you want to design your own icon for a button (for example) you can use this template of .psd

  • Looks as if the site you mention only produces square icons (no rounded corners). – Drux Nov 12 '13 at 17:33
  • Only square icons because you don't need rounded icons for your App Icon. – Jordan Montel Nov 12 '13 at 18:00
  • I'm now producing my rounded icons (for use on a web site) the same way Apple apparently does: by rounding a square form using CSS. So yes, there is sometimes need for rounded icons, but one can get them in perhaps sufficient quality without special tools. – Drux Nov 19 '13 at 10:23
