Mac VideoStories: How To Extract an Application’s Icon and Convert It to .png

Today I’m very happy to announce a new series of posts on MacStories, called “Mac VideoStories”. The VideoStories will feature video tutorials about every tweak, hack or how-to you should know about your Mac. From beginners stuff to advanced tricks, both long and brief videos, I’ll try to cover every possible thing that will come in my mind.

Let’s start with the first screencast, a tutorial that shows how you can easily extract an application’s icon and convert it to a universal .png file.

Enjoy!

Level: Beginner
