If you're writing documentation to help colleagues use Preview for editing images, signing PDFs, and converting graphics, it's helpful to include the Preview app's icon so they can easily identify it in the Applications folder and Dock. Here’s how to copy a high-resolution version of any app icon to use in your documents:
- Select the App: In the Finder, locate and select the Preview app (or any other app).
- Get Info: Choose File > Get Info from the menu bar or press Command-I.
- Copy the Icon: In the Info window, click the small icon in the upper-left corner to select it.
- Copy to Clipboard: Press Command-C to copy the icon.
- Paste or Create a New File: You can now paste the icon directly into your document using Command-V. Alternatively, you can create a new file with all sizes of the icon by switching to Preview and choosing File > New From Clipboard.
This quick tip ensures your documentation is clear and professional, making it easier for colleagues to follow along. Happy documenting!
