How big should tab bar icons be?

I've created an icon that I want to use for a tabbar image. I'm not sure but I believe the icons can be no larger than 75x75. My icon is 60x64.

When I selected the icon, it is too big for the tabbar button. It hides the button text and much of the icon is clipped. Anyone know why this is happening?

It must be around 25x25 points (not pixels) and not more than 48x32 points. So, in pixels:

  • @1x: 25x25 (max: 48x32)
  • @2x: 50x50 (max: 96x64)
  • @3x: 75x75 (max: 144x96)

For more details, you can take a look at this matrix from Apple's Doc: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconMatrix.html
