Rautamiekka, it's impossible to get an exact copy of any item's in-game inventory sprite, as the inventory images are not 100% opaque in game. Every graphics program will save it differently, some more optimized than others.

Anyway, each item is resized to a specific fraction of the inventory slot's size; the only way to get this fraction is by delving into the code for Terraria, sadly enough. If that ratio isn't used, the image you get will likely look different from the in-game version, even if only slightly.

Sometimes it's a horribly hyper-extended decimal with lots of recurring threes, sometimes it's a simple 0.8/1 ratio. All depends on the item sprite size. (Obviously, once certain dimensions are reached by the item sprite itself, the ratio of that image on the slot is 1.0, just copy-pasted on top.)
