Download Icon2ImageLite

Overview

Icon2ImageLite is a utility for creating image thumbnails of file, folder and disk icons in various image formats, in batch.

This functionality is available as a contextual menu in the Finder. An accompanying system preference pane enables you to specify the sizes of generated images, in a range from 16 to 128 pixels square.

How To Install Icon2ImageLite

The software archive contains two files:

1) Icon2ImageLite.plugin: This is the contextual menu. Put it in "/Library/Contextual Menu Items/"

2) Icon2ImageLite.prefPane: This is the preference pane for configuring the contextual menu. Put it in "/Library/PreferencePanes"

Once installed you need to logout and log back in to load the contextual menu (or you can simply relaunch the Finder using "Force Quit" from the Apple menu.)

How To Activate and Use Icon2ImageLite

The following quick 8 steps will guide you through activation and usage:

1) Control-click on anything in the Finder, and navigate the contextual menu to the "Icon2ImageLite" section:

Select "Icon2ImageLite Preferences..." and the system preference pane will display.

2) The system preference pane first opens to the "Settings" tab where you can specify the size of the images generated from the Finder icons:

3) Click the "Password" tab. If this is the first time you are running Icon2ImageLite the program automatically activates itself for about 10 days.

If the demo expired this is where you would enter your permanent Utilities password.

4) Once activated you can start making images from Finder icons. First select one or more Finder icons, as shown.

5) Now Control-click on any icon in the selection to display the Finder's contextual menu, and select an image format from the "Icon2ImageLite" submenu:

Icon2Image will generate images from all icons in the selection, placing them in a folder named "Icon2ImageLite" in your Documents folder of your Home folder.

6) You can go to the Icon2ImageLite image folder by Control-clicking anywhere in the Finder and selecting "Go to Icon2ImageLite folder..."

 

7) The Icon2ImageLite folder is now opened:

8) Select your images and double click on one to preview them in Preview:

That's all there is to it!
