If you’re a Mac or iOS developer working with Apple’s SF Symbols, you know how useful these vector-based icons can be. But sometimes, you need a quick PNG version for documentation, design mockups, or scripting workflows. That’s where copy-symbol comes in.

๐Ÿš€ What Is copy-symbol?

copy-symbol is a free, Swift-based CLI utility developed by @futuretap that copies a PNG image of any SF Symbol, referenced by name, to your clipboard. That makes it easy to integrate SF Symbol icons into various workflows.

๐Ÿงช Example invocation:

copy-symbol heart.circle

Or if you want to specify the size explicitly (instead of the default 100 px):

copy-symbol heart.circle.fill -size 1000
