Get 'Em Large
On Friday, I gave a little app update where I used JUMBO sized iPhone app icons. When I posted them, some people asked me how did I get such large app icons. So I figured I'd write a post on how to do so.
Here is an example of a huge app icon, this is 512 by 512 pixels.
How did I get this? It takes a 4 simple steps:
(1) Open iTunes and click on the "Apps" section on the left hand side:
(2) Right click on the app and select "Get info":
(3) In the new window, click on the "Artwork" tab at the top right:
(4) Click and drag the image off the window and onto your desktop:
Pretty simple! The only catch, you need to own the app.

Yitz, Duh, yea - do you think I am dumb or something? But if you DID NOT BUILD the app, this is a very easy way to get the app icon. This is for most of the bloggers out there that do app reviews but did not build the app.

That's just what I was looking for, awesome - thanks. One question - hopefully not stupid...Is there a way to "super size" the stock app icons (Phone, Mail, Safari, Messages, etc)? Thanks for sharing
