ICO to ICNS questions
Are all images inside the ICO copied to ICNS?
No. The converter uses the image that the browser decodes, then generates a new ICNS size set from it.
Does ICO transparency remain transparent?
Yes, when the browser-decoded ICO image contains transparency.
Will the icon be stretched into a square?
No. Its aspect ratio is preserved and transparent padding is added when needed.
