Batch generate iOS icons using PhotoShop actions

　 Isn’t it troublesome to make 10 or so different sizes every time you make an iOS application icon? Of course, what’s even more troublesome is that you need to re-save these different sizes and names after each modification; if you accidentally change the name and Getting the dimensions wrong can also cause unnecessary errors.

The action function of PhotoShop can solve this problem very well. We can record an action, automatically modify the 1024*1024 Icon to a different size and save it as a different name. Only 1024 icons are modified each time and then one action is executed to pull down all updates.

            1. Open a 1024*1024 icon picture and merge all layers to avoid the border and projection not scaling after changing the size.
