Inventory Icons

Inventory Icons turns prop pictures from the game, or your own PNG, JPG and WebP files, into a clean icon pack: background removed, empty edges trimmed, every item padded and sized the same way. You fill in the item data once and download a zip with the icons in the right folder plus the item list for your inventory.

What it is for

Adding items to a server usually means two chores that never match up: finding or cutting a picture for each item, and writing the item entry with the exact same name as the file. This tool does both in one pass. The item name is also the file name, so water_bottle.png and ['water_bottle'] can never drift apart.

Supported targets: ox_inventory, qb-inventory, ps-inventory, qs-inventory, codem-inventory and ESX (items table).

Quick start

1. On Game props, search the prop pictures (name, label or tag), narrow them with the category dropdown, and click as many as you want. Then press Add N props.
2. Or switch to Your images and press Choose images, or drop files anywhere on the page.
3. In Every icon, pick the Icon size, Format, Padding and the rest. The big preview shows the selected icon.
4. Fix anything odd on a single icon with its own background, tolerance and padding.
5. Fill in the Items table: item name, label, weight, stack and so on. Use the bulk bar for many rows at once.
6. Under Export, pick your Inventory, then Download zip or copy the Lua / SQL.

Adding pictures

Game props

The picker loads about 29,000 prop pictures (160 px transparent WebP, the same ones as in the Objects List). Every search word has to match. The grid shows 60 results at a time with Show more, and Select the N shown picks everything visible. You can pick up to 500 props before you have to add them. Props already in the pack are marked In pack and are not added twice.

Items made from props get a name from the prop label (for example Water Bottle becomes water_bottle) and keep the prop model, which qs-inventory uses as object.

Your images

Only PNG, JPG and WebP are read; other files in a drop are skipped with a notice. The file name becomes the item name and label: Water Bottle.png turns into the name water_bottle and the label Water Bottle. If you want sharper art than a 160 px prop picture, Item Icons has 18,000 item images for FiveM inventories. Download the ones you need and drop them here to trim, resize and name them.

Every icon (pack settings)

Reset settings puts everything back to these defaults. The pack settings and the chosen inventory are remembered in this browser.

Background removal modes

• Auto (only pictures without transparency) runs the edge fill only on pictures whose border is solid, like photos and screenshots. Prop pictures and cut out PNGs are left alone.
• Off keeps the picture as it is.
• Remove from the edges flood fills from the border using the corner colours (or the colour you picked). White parts inside the object stay, as long as they do not touch the background.
• Remove one colour everywhere is a chroma key. Good for green screen shots, but it also removes that colour inside the object.

The selected icon

Click a tile to open it in the preview. You can switch the preview backdrop between checker, dark and light to see edges on both. The panel shows:

• Object: the size of the visible object after trimming, in source pixels.
• Scale: how much it was scaled. Above 1.25x it turns amber and the tile shows a badge like 1.6x, because upscaled icons look soft.
• Background: kept, or the share of pixels removed.
• File: the size of the rendered icon.

Per icon you can override Background for this icon, Tolerance for this icon and Padding for this icon. Back to the settings of every icon drops the overrides. Icon downloads just that one file, and the bin removes it from the pack.

Items table

Names with a problem are marked red with the reason (empty, bad characters, too long, duplicate), and export is blocked until they are fixed.

Check rows to use the bulk bar: set Weight, Stacking…, On use… (usable, not usable, close or keep open), Rarity…, a description for all checked, Auto label (labels back to the prop label or file name), Name from label, or Remove. The table shows 100 rows and grows with Show more rows.

Export

The zip is called inventory-icons-<target>.zip and contains the icons in the target folder, the item snippet and a README.txt with the steps.

Icons that failed to load or came out empty after background removal are left out, and the status line tells you how many.

ox_inventory

Paste the entries inside the return { ... } table. ox_inventory builds the picture path as web/images/<name>.png on its own, so for WebP exports every item gets a client.image line:

	['water_bottle'] = {
		label = 'Water Bottle',
		weight = 100,
		stack = true,
		close = true,
		client = {
			image = 'water_bottle.webp',
		},
	},

qb-inventory and ps-inventory

Both read the qb-core item list. One line per item, pasted inside QBCore.Shared.Items = { ... }. Stack maps to unique = not stack:

    water_bottle = { name = 'water_bottle', label = 'Water Bottle', weight = 100, type = 'item', image = 'water_bottle.png', unique = false, useable = true, shouldClose = true, description = '' },

codem-inventory uses the same fields with a ['name'] key.

qs-inventory

Same fields as qb, plus rare when you set a rarity and object (the prop model) for items made from props.

ESX

INSERT IGNORE INTO `items` (`name`, `label`, `weight`, `rare`, `can_remove`) VALUES
	('water_bottle', 'Water Bottle', 1, 0, 1);

ESX weights are whole numbers in the unit of Config.MaxWeight (kg by default), so grams are rounded to kg with a minimum of 1. rare is 1 for Epic and Legendary, 0 for Common or no rarity. ESX core has no icon folder: put the pictures wherever your inventory UI loads item images from. If you run ox_inventory on ESX, pick ox_inventory instead.

After pasting, restart the inventory, and for qb-core based inventories restart qb-core too (or the whole server).

Sizes

The stock icons of ox_inventory and qb-inventory are 100x100 PNG, and the inventory scales them to the slot. 128 is a good default and keeps prop pictures sharp. 256 looks crisper on 1440p and 4K screens, but prop pictures are only 160 px, so 256 and 512 upscale them (the settings panel warns you). Keep an eye on the pack size shown next to the icon count: the inventory UI loads every icon, and a few hundred 512 px PNGs add up.

Limitations

• Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. On some older browsers the page notes that icons render one at a time, which is slower for big packs.
• The pack itself is not saved. Reloading the page empties it, only the settings are remembered.
• What happens when an item is used is still up to your scripts; the tool only writes the definition.
• The codem-inventory folder and file follow CodeM’s mInventory Remake docs. Check them against your version.
