I've been having a terrible time getting
sips
and/or ImageMagick (convert
) to consistently convert .icns
files to .png
.
I frequently hit very unclear errors when using sips
to make the conversion (eg, sips -s format png "/path/to icns file/file.icns" --out "/path/to png file to generate/file.png"
) and when I end up with problems with that, I have usually been able to use ImageMagick (eg, convert "/path/to icns file/file.icns" "/path/to png file to generate/file.png"
). I'm suspecting there are inconsistencies in the .icns
files that I'm attempting to convert, but the sips
error/output messages are sometimes nonsensical and unhelpful in this regard. When I hit these issues I can usually use ImageMagick, but not always.
Has anyone come up with a reliable method for converting .icns
to .png
?
