NovoIcons has made icon extraction simple and fast. If there's any way that you get lost using this little app, refer to the topics below.

Getting Started

Basic Icon Extraction

To extract an icon, simply drag and drop the source (e.g. a file or application) onto either the dock icon or the box in the main window. This will open a drawer where you can finalize the extraction by clicking "Extract." Alternatively, you can choose the source file and output destination using the buttons in the main window.

Advanced Icon Extraction

These instructions are the same as the Basic Icon Extraction except for the optional extraction settings. These settings include changing the file format (located in the toolbar), using the file preview instead of the icon, extracting all of the icons in a folder (if a folder is selected), and using the image thumbnail. The last three options are located in the main window.

Canceling An Extraction

There is no way to cancel an extraction, but there is no harm done to the source file when it's icon is extracted. Thus, if you didn't want that icon extracted, simply find to where it was exported and move the image to the trash.
