Common questions

The short version of the questions teams usually ask before committing IconWorkshop to the production pipeline.

Does IconWorkshop run on macOS?

No. The current product source positions IconWorkshop as a Windows application. It creates macOS ICNS files and other cross-platform outputs from the same Windows workstation.

What formats can IconWorkshop create?

Current product material highlights Windows ICO up to 768x768, macOS ICNS, RSC, and BIN up to 1024x1024, plus alpha-enabled PNG outputs for Linux, Android, and iOS. Version 6.97 also adds WebP import and export.

What is new in IconWorkshop 6.97?

The current changelog confirms WebP image support, improved Axialis IconVectors integration, and general stability and performance improvements.

Can I keep SVG as the master artwork?

Yes. The preferred current Axialis workflow is to keep SVG as the vector source in Axialis IconVectors, then use IconWorkshop to package ICO, ICNS, PNG, and WebP deliverables.

Do Photoshop and Illustrator workflows still matter?

Yes. The current product material still treats those bridges as core workflows. The 6.96 changelog confirms Illustrator plug-in compatibility through the 2026 release, and the 6.95 release material highlighted Photoshop and Illustrator 2024 plug-ins.
