So, if you&#8217;re like me, below is a little more info. If you could care less, then feel free to comment on how helpful this tip was, and carry on about your day! :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-happened\">Here&#8217;s what happened.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you copied the application from the Finder, Preview was smart enough to know that you wanted to <strong>extract the graphic element<\/strong> when you requested it to create a new file. In this case, the app&#8217;s icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-kind-of-graphic-is-an-icon\"><strong>What kind of graphic is an icon?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The icon filetype is called \u2013 <em>get this<\/em> \u2013 an <strong>Apple Icon File<\/strong>, or .icns. Just like jpg, png, gif, tiff, etc., it is an image file. Or, more accurately, a collection of images. This is why you saw multiple occurrences of the same graphic when you opened the file in Preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the images in the .icns file is a different size, typically ranging from 16&#215;16 pixels to 1024&#215;1024. They double in size along the way: 16 &gt; 32 &gt; 64 &gt; 128 &gt; 256 &gt; 512 &gt; 1024 and contain retina versions, which are 2X the standard size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-the-different-sizes\"><strong>Why the different sizes?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>macOS uses the fixed-size&nbsp;images&nbsp;to&nbsp;<strong>scale and display<\/strong> them at any intermediate&nbsp;size as needed. For example, when you resize a Finder window in Gallery mode, the icons smoothly shrink and grow \u2013 anywhere from 16 to 1024 pixels square. And because they are PNGs, they maintain their transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can save your image in any of the supported graphic formats using Preview, but for the purposes of being able to use it in presentations, visual artwork, websites, print media, transparent PNGs are your best and easiest option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said, quick and easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-links\">Related Links<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/64055-create-lower-third-overlays-for-video\/\">Creating Lower Third Overlays for Video Using Pages and Preview<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/28492-create-your-own-custom-icons-in-10-7-5-or-later\/\">Create Your Own Custom Icons in OS X 10.7.5 or Later [Updated]<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/19935-making-your-current-mac-pro-performance-better-than-new\/\">Making Your Current Mac Pro Perform Better Than New<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/54995-customizing-catalinas-desktop\/\">Customizing Catalina&#8217;s Desktop<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/39496-spacers-stacks-swapping-mastering-the-iconic-macos-dock-part-2\/\">Spacers, Stacks &amp; Swapping: Mastering the Iconic macOS Dock, Part 2<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever searched online for an application icon?
