Updated for iPhone 14 and iOS 16! Transparent App Icons is the easiest, simplest way to customize your iOS 14+ Home Screen with icons that are set against the background wallpaper to look like they’re transparent. Transparent App Icons lets you create images to use as Shortcuts bookmarks on your Home Screen, so you can achieve previously impossible Home Screen layouts and custom icon spacing, using a simulated transparent background. Features: - Upload wallpaper images and automatically create icons with the correct cut-out so that icons blend with the wallpaper seamlessly - Automatically crop uploaded images to your phone’s wallpaper size - Quickly create icon images for entire home screen pages - Overlay transparent images to create a see-through logo effect: 2200+ logos and symbols included in the app - Transparent App Icons is a one time purchase, paid up front: no subscriptions, no selling data, no need to log in - Absolutely never, ever, ever any ads There’s no corporation trying to extract ad dollars here - I’m just one developer, and I hope Transparent App Icons can help you create creative and aesthetic iOS 14 home screen layouts!

BLURRY
Icons come out blurry every time. Even though my pictures are clear.
“Low Opacity” Like Icons
Whenever I use a background that has a bright color for my custom icons, for some reason the transparency really looks more like a low opacity background. Please fix this.
Didn’t work for me
Neat idea and fairly simple to figure out, but the icons are way undersized compared to my background picture and doesn’t even come close to matching up. This is on an iPhone 11 Pro Max (16.4.1). I contacted him through the email he has provided multiple times here in the review comments and never got a reply.
Shadow under transparent tile
How do I get rid off the shadow underneath the app tile that is transparent in a light background?? Am I missing a step?
APPS DONT LINE UP
I was so excited to come across an app where I can make transparent icons, but that happiness soon faded when I noticed the apps don’t line up on my phone. I have an iPhone 11, and when I take a screenshot is says that it screen is too large? Then proceeds to crop it smaller than needed, making the apps not line up. I’m very disappointed, and feel like I wasted $2 for an app that doesn’t work. Hopefully you all fix this issue, but until then I have to delete this app.
Stopped working
After making a couple of icons, after I hit “allow paste” nothing happens. I love this app, but it’s frustrating when it stops working as I’m using it.
Low quality images
This app is very cool for lower quality images. But when using custom drawn app icons, especially ones with lots of detail, this produces very low quality images. When comparing the resulting app icon, and one made with the shortcuts app without a transparent background, the shortcuts app is much higher quality. Cool idea, but not for me.
