What Is a Squircle?
A squircle (square + circle) is a super-ellipse shape that smoothly transitions between a square and a circle. Unlike a rounded square which has distinct straight edges with circular corners, a squircle uses continuous curvature — the entire perimeter is a single smooth curve. This gives it a softer, more organic appearance that feels more modern and refined. Apple popularized the squircle with iOS 7 and it has since become the standard shape for app icons across major platforms. The squircle's continuous curve also means there are no visible corner joints, making it ideal for high-end brand identities and premium UI elements.
Squircle vs Rounded Square: Key Differences
The main difference is mathematical. A rounded square has straight edges connected by quarter-circle corners — you can see where the straight section ends and the curve begins. A squircle's curvature is continuous across the entire perimeter, transitioning seamlessly from edge to corner without any inflection points. This makes the squircle appear softer and more premium. For iOS app icons, Apple specifically requires a squircle mask. For Android adaptive icons, a squircle provides the most modern appearance. The editor supports both shapes so you can choose based on your platform requirements and design preferences.
Best Export Formats for Squircle Images
For app store submissions, PNG is required — export at 1024×1024 px for iOS App Store and 512×512 px for Google Play. WebP is suitable for web and in-app icon usage where file size matters. SVG export preserves the squircle mask as a vector, which is useful for design systems and responsive web applications. For any platform-specific submission, always verify the latest icon guidelines and export at the recommended resolution.
