Make Icon Files

In addition to beautifying the desktop, an icon's role is to help you quickly spot an important file, folder or program.

All software products have predefined icons set by Microsoft or developers. However, if you want to add a personal touch to them, it's possible to create your own icons and assign them to anything with the aid of tools specialized in making icons.

In the following hub, you can check out a collection of free and free-to-try icon makers that we found interesting, whether they were easy to use or rich with features.

Some of these applications are capable of extracting icons and saving them to various graphical filetypes besides .ico. They also provide you with the necessary graphic editing tools for customizing and enhancing images before turning them into icons, including filters. 

Furthermore, we have another hub dedicated to icon editors if you're looking for more customization settings.
