Any program to view ICO & ICNS in Linux??

SoftHacker · July 6, 2011, 2:48pm

I want to open Microsoft Icons (.ico) and Macintosh Icons (.icns), is there any program for that?
I can’t find someone I tried Yahoo! and Google :\

And if I ask, is there also a converter to convert ICO, ICNS -> PNG for Linux?

what do you mean “open”?

do you mean open and edit? if so, have you tried GIMP

or, do you mean open and view? if so, have you tried Gwenview

give GIMP a try, i just went from .ico to .png, easy.

Hmm, you’re not very good at describing what you’re doing are you?

So you installed libicns-utils. So do you mean that icns2png and
png2icns don’t work, or that you didn’t bother reading the docs or what?

There is “icoutils” in the “Contrib” repo,
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.4:/Contrib/standard/

From the description in YaST2:

icoutils - Extracting and Converting Microsoft Icon and Cursor Files

The icoutils are a set of programs for extracting and converting images
in Microsoft Windows icon and cursor files. These files usually have the
extension .ico or .cur, but they can also be embedded in executables or
libraries (.dll-files).

try google? the string
open icns in linux <http://www.google.com/search?q=open+icns+in+linux>
brings 340,000 hits, the first is
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/icns/> “Software for library for
manipulating MacOS X .icns icon format. Currently provides support for
reading and writing icns files in most sizes. Also provides two
utilities for manipulating files in the .icns format: icns2png
icontainer2icns”

first I want to say, i’m using Google.RU at all
and i have libicns already installed, already posted
and the converted png icons (from icns) are to small 128x128, but I need 256x256, the same icon as ico is 256x256, but the mac one should also be 256x256
it stands in the readme of the icon pack that i have downloaded… :sarcastic:

and what is, when i download a clean macintosh icon pack, without microsoft icons, than i have to small icons (128x128) instead of useable ones (256x256)

how to get icns2png to convert the icons to 256x256 png’s
thanks in advance

sry for my english, i know i’m from austria!

Is your icns2png linked against jasper? Because that is what the project
home page says

If linked against Jasper, it also has full support for 256x256 and 512x512
32-bit icons with masks as alpha channels.

icns2png is not linked to jasper, and i don’t compiled it myself, i downloaded a precompiled version for fedora core 15, because the compiler gives me several errors
how to link it manually
PS: i cannot find a precompiled version for opensuse 11.4

i have installed
jasper
jasper5
libjasper-devel
libjasper1
libjasper1-32bit

my os is 64-bit and icns2png is also a 64-bit package

It is very quick and easy to compile it yourself. As soon as libjasper-devel
is installed (and you already have it), ./configure without any special
parameters recognises that jasper is present and links against it, see here
the output from my machine


ldd /usr/local/bin/icns2png
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff7e9ff000)
libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0 (0x00007fa506164000)
libicns.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libicns.so.1 (0x00007fa505f55000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa505be8000)
libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007fa5059d0000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa505779000)
libjasper.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libjasper.so.1 (0x00007fa50551f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa50638e000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00007fa5052d2000)

I can not really test the program since I have no icns files.
I would guess (but did not try it) that you can simply rebuild the rpm with


rpmbuild --rebuild <your downloaded source rpm>

to have the new rpm automatically linked against jasper because during the
rebuild it just calls configure.
Important is you need to download the source rpm for it!
I would give it a try (of course you will need gcc and make installed at
least). This is a bit of a hack since I omitted here to adjust the spec file
to include the additional dependency on jasper, but for your own use it
should be good enough.

A bit weeird, it compiled for me without any problems, maybe a glitch with
your libpng version? Which openSUSE version are you using and what is the
output from


rpm -qa '*libpng*'

below is what it shows on my machine where the compilation succeeded


martinh@ganymed:~> rpm -qa '*libpng*'
libpng12-0-32bit-1.2.44-7.1.x86_64
libpng14-14-1.4.4-2.1.x86_64

libpng12-devel-1.2.44-7.1.x86_64

I wonder if you simply need to install libpng12-compat-devel and run
configure again.

Google says this is an openSUSE 10.3 rpm, if I were you I would remove it.
