Icons for iOS Tab Bar

Update Sep 14, 2012: we’ve released 800 icons in a single PSD file. Download 800 icons for iPhone and iPad.

Update Sep 18, 2012: Designers, we’ve created a Photoshop template (download 374 Kb) to fit icons. The illustration above is based on that.

What is tab bar? It’s the bottom black toolbar of the iPhone and iPad. As you can see, Icons8 suits it pretty well:

What size should one use?

1. Apple specifies as 30×30 pt (60×60 px on Retina display).
2. Another article specifies 20×20 px (40×40 px on Retina).
3. The example above is 30×30 pt.

How to use it?

1. Well, you should use Adobe Illustrator or something. Although it’s a little bit of extra work, it’s easy. Copy the icon to a blank file, scale, recolor, save. Sounds difficult, right? No. It’s easy.

What we’ve got for iPhone and iPad apps?

Oh, plenty of stuff, 795 icons as of today. Let me show just some.
