How to convert WebP to ICNS

  1. Add your WebP images

    Drop WebP files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. ICNS is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the ICNS, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The WebP to ICNS converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your images are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

WebP to ICNS: what to expect

WebP is still rejected by plenty of desktop apps, older software and upload forms. ICNS is what macOS expects for app and file icons. WebP is at home in images on websites; ICNS is the usual choice for macOS application and folder icons.

ICNS holds a single still image, so an animated WebP does not stay animated.

If the WebP is animated, only its first frame is converted and the result is a still picture. The picture is fitted into a square, with empty margins if it is not square, and written at 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 pixels (and 1024 when the source is at least that large), each as a PNG inside the icon file.

WebP vs ICNS

WEBP

WebP image

WebP is Google's image format for the web. It is typically a quarter to a third smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports both transparency and animation. Browsers handle it well; older editors, printers' portals and some messaging apps do not.

Opens in All current browsers; many older desktop apps and upload forms do not accept it

ICNS

macOS icon

ICNS is the icon container of macOS. One file holds the same icon at many sizes, from 16 to 1024 pixels including Retina versions, each with transparency. Every Mac app carries one in its bundle.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The WebP to ICNS conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting WebP to ICNS reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: ICNS stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several WebP files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert WebP to ICNS on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the WebP file, press Convert and save the ICNS. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
