I am guessing you want to create new icons.

All icons are vectored .svg images, (however most are optimized for a
26x26 resolution).
(we are using inkscape to build//edit/convert them).

they are converted to .cpp (from a temporary .png file) by the kicad
building process if you are using the option -DMAINTAIN_PNGS=ON.

You can find more info in bitmaps_png/CMakeLists.txt
