#### 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.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Icon and Embedded Image Extractor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
