Updating Your Image Resource Files
Applications running in iOS 4 should now include two separate files for each image resource. One file provides a standard-resolution version of a given image, and the second provides a high-resolution version of the same image. The naming conventions for each pair of image files is as follows:
-
Standard: <ImageName><device_modifier>
.
<filename_extension> -
High resolution: <ImageName>
@2x
<device_modifier>.
<filename_extension>
The <ImageName> and <filename_extension> portions of each name specify the usual name and extension for the file. The <device_modifier> portion is optional and contains either the string ~ipad
or ~iphone
. You include one of these modifiers when you want to specify different versions of an image for iPad and iPhone. The inclusion of the @2x
modifier for the high-resolution image is new and lets the system know that the image is the high-resolution variant of the standard image.
