Still manually scaling images for Android drawable folders? Come on now. Mako is here to help.

• The Android Plugin I Couldn’t Live Without — So I Rebuilt It from Scratch

Mako is a no-nonsense, drag-and-drop image importer plugin for Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.
It lets you import your xxxhdpi images and automatically scales them into the proper Android density-specific drawable directories like:

• drawable-mdpi/
• drawable-hdpi/
• drawable-xhdpi/
• drawable-xxhdpi/
• drawable-xxxhdpi/

Need a drawable-night-xxhdpi or drawable-de-xxhdpi instead? No problem — just enter a modifier.
Drag in your xxxhdpi image(s) — and you’re done.

• ✅ Drag and drop to import images
• ✅ Automatically scales xxxhdpi images down to all required densities
• ✅ Supports custom folder modifiers like drawable-night-xxhdpi or drawable-zh-xxhdpi
• ✅ Supports common formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, and yes... WebP!
• ✅ Uses only native Java libraries for fast, dependency-free image scaling
• ✅ Multi-image batch import with preview
• ✅ Designed with simplicity for your everyday Android developers
• ✅ Open source and friendly ❤️
• ✅ Localised in:
  • English (en)
  • Chinese Simplified (zh)
  • Japanese (jp)
  • Spanish (es)
  • Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR)

• PNG
• JPG / JPEG
• WebP

❗ We wanted to support JPEG XL, but it’s still not widely supported on the JVM side (yet!). Keep an eye out though.

1. Open your Android project and right-click on your res package, it will have Mako Android Drawable Importer just underneath Paste.
2. You provide a high-resolution xxxhdpi image.
3. Mako uses native ImageIO and BufferedImage (with optional WebP via TwelveMonkeys) to scale it down to the lower buckets.
4. It writes the resized images into proper drawable-* folders using your output directory and optional modifier.
5. Done. No manual resizing, no need to learn Photoshop and most of all no more crying.
