IconForge description
IconForge - Simply the best way to create or change icons, cursors, animated cursors and icon libraries

IconForge Icon Editing Tool Kit is a complete graphics suite for creating, extracting, and modifying icons, cursors, animated icons or cursors and many other images. Use for creating bookmark and favorites icons for your web pages, filmstrip animation sequences, stitching together panels of icons, and editing other images.

Optimized for editing small images, you will find a full set of painting tools at your disposal. You can import from and export to a variety of other image, icon and animation types, so you can take advantage of work which you've already created or scanned from other sources.

IconForge is also an excellent tool for other graphics, such as producing bookmark/favorites icons for a web site, repeating tiles for wallpaper backgrounds, animated GIF bullets to make listings stand out, or cursors for various projects.
