Iconie For Mac

When developing macOS or iOS applications, you must provide the apps’ icons in various sizes: this is extremely important for best results. Iconie is a small macOS utility that can help you generate all the required icons in no time.

All the Iconie functions can be easily accessed via the app’s main window which is organized in two main tabs: macOS and iOS. For your convenience, each tab includes previews for all the icon sizes.

This way, the macOS panel displays icon thumbnails with the following sizes: 512X512, 256X256, 128X128, 32X32, and 16X16. At the same time, the iOS panel contains icon sizes suitable for iOS 5 or iOS 7 apps (regardless if are deployed on iPhone or iPad devices).

To make use of the Iconie capabilities all you have to do is drag and drop the source image on top of one of the icons panels: Iconie automatically resizes the picture and generates the previews. Note that you must perform the action for the macOS and iOS tabs separately.

Iconie is able to process only images that have the same height and width (need to be squares).

It is advisable to use images that have at least 1024X1024 in size for macOS apps , and 152X152 for iOS utilities: when dealing with smaller images, Iconie automatically upscales them, which may lead to a worse quality.

Iconie provides simple tools for quickly generating all the icons necessary when developing macOS or iOS applications.

The results can be quickly exported to an icon set as PNG images, to an ICNS file, or you can choose to integrate them in the Xcode Asset Catalog (Xcode must be installed beforehand).
