An icon family consists of a group of image resources, each representing the same icon but at different sizes or resolutions. ICNS files are container files that can hold multiple image sizes and resolutions of the same icon using a technique called “icon family”. When an item is selected on a macOS system, the operating system retrieves the appropriate size and resolution of the icon from the ICNS file and displays it on the screen. ICNS files can be created using various software tools, such as Icon Composer or Sketch, and can be assigned to various items on a macOS system, such as applications, folders, and documents. The file format uses a compression algorithm to reduce the file size of the images. ICNS files typically contain images in several resolutions, ranging from 16x16 pixels to 1024x1024 pixels, to accommodate different display sizes and resolutions on macOS devices.
