OSIcon Explorer is a handy application designed to help you explore your computer and extract icons from system files stored on your computer.

The interface of OSIcon Explorer is clean and simple. The first tab of the main window allows you to browse through the folders stored on the computer just like you would using Windows Explorer.

Except the fact that you can browse the hard drive and view files stored in each folder, the usefulness of OSIcon Explorer is limited. You can not modify or alter the selected files in any way, in order to extract their icons.

OSIcon Explorer enables you to search for a specific extension and its associated icon. At the bottom of the GUI, there are several additional details about the selected system files, such as its name, type and the icon index.

From the same tab, you can save the selected icon as a PNG file. Also, you have the option to select the icon size from small (16x16 pixels) to Jumbo (256x256 pixels).

OSIcon Explorer enables you to view the icon of an EXE or ICO file. The preset of the path field is the 'system32' folder, where a large number of icons can be found.

Unlike its top competitors, OSIcon Explorer does not allow you to process the information that it finds in a selected file in any way, but only see icons and explore files on the PC. Extracting icons from numerous file formats and saving them as separate files should be considered a must for such an application.

Other features, such as editing the colors, the brightness or the saturation of the output and adding it various effects, (e.g. blur, sharpen and glow) are improvements that might help OSIcon Explorer climb the ladder of success even further.
