Convert Icon Files on Mac
Icon (Icon Composer) is an image format using the .icon extension. Consul converts Icon files to 30 other formats. Rename a file's extension in Finder and Consul handles the conversion automatically.
What is Icon?
The .icon format is produced by Icon Composer, the app Apple introduced alongside Xcode 26 in 2025 for designing its Liquid Glass app icons. Rather than a fixed bitmap, an .icon file is a bundle containing scalable SVG layers plus an icon.json that describes them, letting the system render one source icon across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and the App Store.
Icon supports transparency.
Icon was developed by Apple.
