What size should a Roblox game icon be?
Roblox game icons should be square and at least 512×512 pixels. Roblox recommends using a 512×512 template and notes that icons can appear at smaller sizes such as 150×150 in parts of the website and app.
1:1 aspect ratio: keep the composition square so the canvas and crop agree.
Size and readability reference
| Check | What it means |
|---|---|
| 512×512 | Use a square template as the high-resolution target. |
| 1:1 | Keep the focal subject and edge breathing room inside a true square. |
| 150×150 | Confirm the subject and game promise stay clear at smaller display sizes. |
| 64×64 | Pictoriq readability stress-test; it is not part of Roblox’s official upload requirements. |
Dimensions
Use a 512×512 square template as the high-resolution target. Keeping the canvas square protects the intended crop and gives the icon room to display clearly.
Use a 1:1 aspect ratio
Build the composition inside a true square so the focal subject, edge breathing room, and visual hierarchy survive the platform crop.
Check readability at 150×150
Roblox notes that icons can appear around 150×150 in parts of its website and app. Use that smaller view to confirm the subject and game promise remain clear.
Use 64×64 as a stress test
64×64 is a Pictoriq readability stress-test, not an official Roblox upload requirement. It is useful for exposing weak silhouettes, tiny props, and low-contrast text.
Subject size
Let the subject occupy enough of the frame to be recognized without zooming. Faces, tools, creatures, and rewards should read as one strong shape before detail is added.
Edge safety
Leave breathing room around faces, hands, weapons, and important rewards. Edge-safe placement prevents the most useful information from feeling cramped after cropping.
Text readability
Treat text as optional support, not the only explanation. Test short, high-contrast labels at small sizes and remove them if the image stops making sense without them.
Upload and readability checklist
Before upload, confirm the file is square, at least 512×512, visually distinct, readable at 150×150, and still understandable in the 64×64 Pictoriq stress-test.
Practical checks
Examples to check
- Keep the main subject recognizable when reduced to a thumbnail-like preview.
- Leave breathing room near edges so important faces, tools, or rewards survive cropping.
- Check that any text remains optional; the image should still make sense without reading it.
Recommendation
Keep the next decision simple
Start with one square hero composition, then review it as a small icon before adding secondary props.
