Why You Need This

macOS system icons are packed with exquisite design details. For UI designers, exploring and referencing these official icons is one of the most direct ways to master macOS icon design. QxCar extracts system icons from applications and restores them into .icon source files complete with layer structures and effect parameters. You can open, inspect, and edit them directly in Apple's official Icon Composer to see exactly how each layer and effect is crafted.

Assets.car is a binary asset catalog compiled and optimized by Apple developer tools from Assets.xcassets, allowing the system to efficiently load images, colors, and app icons at runtime.

Simply drag and drop an application into QxCar to extract all image assets and generate .icon source files.
