InerziaIcon can import the content of existing files. 


This option differs from importing the icon of apps and files because it will attempt to read the content of supported formats.


The following formats are supported:

  • Apple Icon (.icns)
  • Microsoft Ico (.ico)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)*
  • Portable Document Format (.pdf)*

Formats marked with an asterisk (*) may not be available depending on whether you have purchased the latest available Feature Set.


There are multiple ways to import files: you can choose the one that suits you best, as they all end in the same result.


Import from the main window

To import icon files from the main window, follow these steps:

  1. Move your cursor in the upper-left area of the window and click on the "+" button in the toolbar.
  2. Choose "Import Files…" from the menu that appears.
  3. Navigate through your file system and select the files you'd like to import.
    • You can select multiple files by holding Shift while clicking to select.
  4. When ready, click "Import" or press Return on your keyboard.
  5. InerziaIcon will now import the files you selected: this operation might take a while and will be represented by a spinning loading indicator in the bottom-left corner of the window.


Import using the menu bar

To import icon files from the menu bar, follow these steps:

  1. Move the pointer in the upper-left area of your main screen and click on the "File" menu.
