How to uncrush pngcrushed images from an iPhone app bundle

2011-05-03 14:02:09

If you copy an application bundle from your iPhone, or from your iTunes library, you might notice that the PNG files are all apparently blank and/or corrupt. This is because they have been compressed by "pngcrush."

To uncrush, use the iOS SDK:

mkdir uncrushed
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/pngcrush -dir uncrushed
-revert-iphone-optimizations -q *.png
