Open **qtmips_qui.afdesign** in [Affinity Designer](https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/). +2. Switch to the **Export Persona** and run **Export Slices**. + You will be asked to select export folder. + In that folder, **icon.iconset** folder will be created. + **icon.iconset** contains rendered icons for all required dimensions together with the **Contents.json manifest** file. +3.
