tabbar icons stretching in UITabbar

Question

I have tabbar icon size of 30x30. When i set these icons to tabbar, images are stretching for iphone4 & iphone5 screen sizes. Why?

UINavigationController *hndWriteNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:hndWrite];  
        hndWriteNav.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"browse.png"];

        [hndWriteNav setTitle:@"Browse"];
        [hndWrite release];

Use Retina image(60*60) with name **@2x** appending to image name. — , Dec 16 '13 at 11:16
You want to use UIEdgeInsets as in [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20499356/uitabbaritem-change-image-height-and-width). — Alistair, Oct 31 '16 at 13:15

You need to create two separate icons browse.png (30x30) and browse@2x.png (60x60).

iOS will automatically load the right file based on the screen scale.

I have these 2 files. But i used browse.png. – user3073276 Dec 16 '13 at 11:21
It's not working. If i use browse@2x.png, the images are not showing in tabbar. – user3073276 Dec 16 '13 at 11:29
than make sure your are using currect images. i guess there is problem in images. – Dec 16 '13 at 11:31
