GEEDITOR / JPG → ICNS

About this conversion · JPG → ICNS

Create a ICNS icon from JPG for a project that specifically needs that icon container. Start with a square design and inspect it at the size where it will be used; a detailed photograph rarely works well as a tiny icon.

Choose “Icon dimensions”: ICO accepts 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 px; ICNS accepts 128, 256, 512 or 1024 px. The picture fits within a square without stretching. One conversion creates one size, not a multi-resolution icon set.

How to convert

  1. Click “Choose files” and select the original JPG file. Start with one file when comparing settings.
  2. Check that the output selector shows ICNS. The instructions here describe this choice; changing the output can change which settings apply.
  3. Open “Conversion settings” below the file area before starting conversion. Set only the options relevant to the output described below.
  4. Choose “Icon dimensions”: ICO accepts 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 px; ICNS accepts 128, 256, 512 or 1024 px. The picture fits within a square without stretching. One conversion creates one size, not a multi-resolution icon set.
  5. Click “Convert files”, then save the result from its file row. “Download all” puts completed files into a ZIP; it does not combine their contents.
  6. Open the downloaded ICNS image at 100% zoom. Compare dimensions, orientation, fine text, transparent edges and colors with the JPG original before uploading it elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Which settings should I use for this conversion?

Choose “Icon dimensions”: ICO accepts 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 px; ICNS accepts 128, 256, 512 or 1024 px. The picture fits within a square without stretching. One conversion creates one size, not a multi-resolution icon set.

Will layers, animation and fine image details survive?

This image route exports pixel data, not a repair of the original. Layers are flattened and animated or multipage files use one frame or page. Color depth, profiles and metadata may change; lost detail cannot be recovered by changing the extension. Open the downloaded ICNS image at 100% zoom. Compare dimensions, orientation, fine text, transparent edges and colors with the JPG original before uploading it elsewhere.
