Icon Processor

Those who prefer to create custom icons from their own images might seek for an easy-to-use solution for editing their images and converting them to icons. Icon Processor was created in order to provide users with a straightforward solution for designing custom icons from their images and adjust them to their preferences. It will offer a step-by-step wizard interface that will guide people in the process of icon creation.

The application comes packed with a minimalist interface that allows one to easily input the preferred images or directories that contain images. Offering a step-by-step sequence, the application provides an  intuitive process that permits even novice users to create their icons with ease.

In order to increase the ease-of-use, the application also offers drag-and-drop capabilities, enabling users to add their images or folders with ease. Following the wizard interface, people will be presented with options for selecting an icon size, color depth and output directory. Nevertheless, it fails to provide some much needed thumbnail previews, which could have been very useful.

Users will be able to access a dedicated editor that will help them customize the resulting icon by directly editing the loaded image. They will be able to perform color adjustments, rotate / flip the images or add more advanced, resampling filters.

However, as with the previous wizard interface issue, the application doesn’t offer instantaneous preview of the applied changes and it only does so on the thumbnails and not the entire image. This might not be such an important issue, but it could make users stress their eyes by trying to discern details in the small previews.

This utility manages to perform a good job at offering users straightforward tools for creating and editing the preferred icons. It will allow them to easily load their images or containing directories, select preferred icon size and color depth or even perform more in-depth adjustments with the help of its included image editor.
