Developer’s Description

Create windows icon files by drag-and-drop images on to this program.

Simply creates windows icon files (.ICO format) by dragging image files on to this program. Actually I wrote this program because I need a simple tool to generate icons, but I haven't found any decent free ones. This program generates down-sampled 32x32, 24x24 and 16x16 levels automatically. It will also generate the 128x128 level if your source image is equal to or larger than 128x128.

Work great and simple
dutch-robMarch 31, 2015
Pros
After trying a few other icon makers, this is the only one that does not mess up the edges of the picture when making it small/icon size. And it's free!
Cons
None found.
Summary
Drop an image in the program window and it makes the icon file right away in the same directory. The ico file has different icon sizes in it and that is just what I needed, (and probably you too).
Easy and simple

Pros
Good job on conversion.
Cons
Creates the icons inside the same directory of the executable, so you need to have it somewhere with fast access.
Summary
It would be great to have editing options. Rare software now is free and icon creating/editing.
Very Easy and Free Icon Creation!

Pros
I didn't want to pay money to convert my images into desktop icons. When I found this program and tried it, I was very happy. All you have to do is extract and run the application, drag and drop the image into the box, and voila, instant icon. Works perfectly, and it's free.
Cons
You can't specify a save folder, but it tells you what folder the icon is located in. Consider making a separate, permanent icon folder and moving your icons to that folder _before_ changing your desktop icons so that you don't have to re-apply the image if you change filepaths.
Summary
Thank you to the creator.
Easy To Use and IT WORKS!

Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
Made me nervous about having virus, but 6 months later im still here.
Summary
Pick a folder for your icon conversions and DONT MOVE IT. Each time you move them you have to change icons again. Took me months to figure that out. I love this program.
Does for free what others do for money

Pros
FREE SIMPLE
Cons
I guess it could be better if it came with a bag of cash ...
Summary
Can you believe that some of these icon editors are available for $80? Yeah ... it's called paintbrush ... and combine it with this program and you're set. Aside from that an easy icon image search on like google has everything under the sun. Drag, drop, and bingo. A moron could use this ... literally.
Does what it says. ---- true copy of image.

Pros
True copy of image. No hassel drag and drop. Excellent image quality. Image is cloned. One clic: drop, create and save.
Cons
Choice of save folder not available.
Summary
No installation required. Program can be used from any source. Ease of use. Graphic corrective action not required do to image quality. It would be nice to specify save folder. Not a proble but a headache.
