Icon2PNG 1.1

About Icon2PNG

I wrote Icon2PNG as a utility for converting some of my Mac icons to PNG images so I could edit them with a more powerful utility, and also to use them in Linux and put them on websites. I had previously been using Photoshop to save the PNG images, and another icon editor to extract the 32bit icons and alpha channel from the new icns format.

System Requirements

Icon2PNG requires a Power Macintosh with System 8.6 or better and CarbonLib 1.5 or better. It will also run under any version of Mac OS X, 10.0 through 10.4 PPC

Changes

  • Fixed a memory leak that would only allow you to convert a few icons unless you gave it several megs of RAM.
