They can be, yes, if they're created at 512x512.  For example,

Perhaps Graphic Converter will do this better, although I
can't check it today to confirm.  You can, at no cost -

In its File menu, select Convert & Modify, then select
Create Icon (or something quite close to that), then a
photo and give it a try.
