Extract icons and embedded PNG/JPEG/ICO images from files and themes

Icon and Embedded Image Extractor is a desktop icon discovery, binary image carver, multi-resolution previewer, and batch ICO/PNG exporter for Linux. An independent Linux alternative inspired by resource and icon extraction utilities such as IconExtract, it scans icon theme directories, archives, multi-frame .ico/.cur files, and binary containers to preview and export assets.

Key Features:

  • Binary PNG, JPEG & ICO Carver: Parses multi-resolution ICO/CUR directory headers and carves valid embedded PNG (IHDR..IEND) and JPEG (SOI..EOI) image streams directly from binary files, libraries, resource blobs, and archives.
  • System Theme & Archive Scanner: Indexes real .png, .svg, .xpm, and .ico assets across /usr/share/icons, /usr/share/pixmaps, ZIP/TAR archives, and user folders.
  • Multi-Size Checkerboard Preview: Previews extracted icons on an alpha-channel checkerboard canvas simultaneously across 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, and 256x256/512x512 scales.
  • Batch PNG & Multi-Frame ICO Export: Exports selected assets into multi-size PNG sets and combined multi-resolution .ico files alongside CSV and JSON catalogs.
