Almost anyone who dabbles in customizing a computer eventually wants to create her own icons. This simple tool provides a fast way to change ordinary digital pictures into Windows icons. The interface is extremely simple--all a user has to do is drop a file into the main window, and select the desired icon size.

Users can also add a transparent color layer or compress the output. The software supports most common graphic file formats, including BMP, GIF, and JPEG. With little flash or advanced features, this free software does its one thing well, and we would recommend it to computer users who are starting the process of personalizing their desktops.

Good Product

Pros
Easy to Use Produces decent clarity icons Provision for 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 sizes
Cons
Default option compress does not work. That may be the reason others have complained here. Fit option works perfectly The save dialogue box is always saving as 48x48 when all the options are checked [it would be better if this tool adds a suffix with the sizes and produces individual images for various sizes selected]
Summary
Its a great and simple tool. Not sure whether it is actively developed.
First Class No Fuss Software

Pros
Simple Easy to use Creates crisp icons Single function
Cons
Sometimes doesn't work properly; have to close it and then restart it.
Summary
It's one of my favorite little programs because, for me, I process icon information faster than word descriptions.

Pros
***none***
Cons
Does not work properly.
Summary
I don't understand the people who say it "does the job" - it does not!....Perhaps they don't realize what a proper icon is supposed to be. A proper icon must have a transparent background, which is why this thing fails. I tried this applet about two years ago with Vista, it didn't work then and it doesn't work now with Win7. I tried to make a icon with the "transparent" button checked and with it unchecked - I also tried using all types of images (png,jpg,bmp etc.) - non of it worked. The finished icon should have a transparent background - not black. There is NO combination of settings or images that works properly - it fails.
Did what I needed

It does what it says and great for those who wants to make their own icon. For those who are using earlier version of windows (98,2000,XP and etc.), you can use this software to make your icon like the latest windows 7.
