Inkscape App Icon Generator

This is an Inkscape plugin for the bulk export of application icons in multiple sizes.
Originally created by @ScreamingTaco and later updated by @firephreek. I've just added 512px size for Windows. These contributors made life significantly easier for others.

WARNING

Installation

Place the app_icon.inx and app_icon.py files in the Inkscape extensions directory.

On Ubuntu, the directory is typically located at ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/.
You can install the plugin by running the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/.config/inkscape/extensions
pushd ~/.config/inkscape/extensions
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akabanov/inkscape_app_icon_generator/master/app_icon_generator.inx
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akabanov/inkscape_app_icon_generator/master/app_icon_generator.py
chmod +x app_icon_generator.py
popd

Then, (re)start Inkscape.

Usage

When you have your icon ready, run the plugin:

And make sure the paths are correct:

The original README file

I got tired of having to manually export different icon size when I made an icon in inkscape, so I made this plugin to automate it

TODO

• Add Windows support
• Add tests to make sure the icon meets the standards for whatever app store it is being designed for
• refactor the python code to use subprocesses
• add option to specify custom path to save to
• clean up output
