+# Convert SVG Icons to PNG
+
+I've created SVG versions of the app icons that match the MessageSquare design from the sidebar. To convert them to PNG format, you can use one of these methods:
+
+## Method 1: Online Converter (Easiest)
+1. Go to https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-png
+2. Upload each SVG file from the `/icons/` directory
+3. Download the PNG versions
+4. Replace the existing PNG files
+
+## Method 2: Using Node.js (if you have it)
+```bash
+npm install sharp
+node -e "
+const sharp = require('sharp');
+const fs = require('fs');
+const sizes = [72, 96, 128, 144, 152, 192, 384, 512];
+sizes.forEach(size => {
+  const svgPath = \`./icons/icon-\${size}x\${size}.svg\`;
+  const pngPath = \`./icons/icon-\${size}x\${size}.png\`;
+  if (fs.existsSync(svgPath)) {
+    sharp(svgPath).png().toFile(pngPath);
+    console.log(\`Converted \${svgPath} to \${pngPath}\`);
+  }
+});
+"
+```
+
+## Method 3: Using ImageMagick (if installed)
+```bash
+cd public/icons
+for size in 72 96 128 144 152 192 384 512; do
+  convert "icon-${size}x${size}.svg" "icon-${size}x${size}.png"
+done
+```
+
+## Method 4: Using Inkscape (if installed)
+```bash
+cd public/icons
+for size in 72 96 128 144 152 192 384 512; do
+  inkscape --export-type=png "icon-${size}x${size}.svg"
+done
+```
+
+## Icon Design
+The new icons feature:
+- Clean MessageSquare (chat bubble) design matching the sidebar
+- Primary color background with rounded corners
+- White stroke icon that's clearly visible
+- Consistent sizing and proportions across all sizes
+- Proper PWA-compliant format
+
+Once converted, the PNG files will replace the existing ones and provide a consistent icon experience across all platforms.
