About 144x144 pixels

A 144x144 image is square, with an aspect ratio of 1:1, and holds 20,736 pixels in total. As a JPEG it usually lands between 2.3KB and 4.6KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.

Where 144x144 is used

A size used in web app manifests and for older Android home screen icons.

  • Check the result at its real size, not zoomed in, before you use it.
  • Use a simple, bold design with a transparent background. Fine detail disappears at small sizes.
  • Save icons as PNG so edges stay sharp. Use JPG only for photo avatars.

Crop to fill or fit inside?

Crop to fill always gives exactly 144x144 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 144x144, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 25% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 33%, a 16:9 screenshot about 44%, and a square image about 0%.

Quality and format

Check the result before you upload

Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 144x144, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.

A tip for this size

Keep important artwork away from the edges so masks do not cut it off. Need another size? Try 150x150, 152x152, 128x128, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my image not exactly 144x144?

You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.

How big will a 144x144 file be?

As a JPEG, usually between 2.3KB and 4.6KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.

Is 144x144 the right size for web app and Android icons?

It is a widely used size for web app and Android icons, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.

Will detail survive at 144x144?

At small sizes fine detail disappears. Crop in close on the main subject and use a simple, high-contrast picture for the best result.
