Every programmer wants to properly deliver its product out into the public and include even minor details such as file icons, or at least for the main executable. Found under the ICO format, these are small images that are supposed to suggest the application's purpose. On the other hand, extracting one is not an easy task, but specialized utilities like Thumbico make sure it becomes one.

One major advantage is that the application can easily be used on the go, since it does not require an installation. This keeps your registries intact, and the low amount of systems resources used, as well as compatibility with latest editions of Windows further increase flexibility.

Moving on to practicability, the application's overall design is simple, yet highly-intuitive and lets anyone quickly accommodate. In an attempt to get ahold of virtually any icon you find appealing or want to include in your projects, the application only requires you to drag the target item over the workspace, instantly grabbing the icon for you.

You can use the integrated file explorer to browse through your computer until you stumble upon the icon you want. What's more, the upper toolbar also displays the target path, so you can also paste a custom one in an attempt to fetch an image, but make sure to also include the file name and extension.

The first impression is a good one, with quality of the retrieved icon being pretty decent. However, not all icons are properly retrieved, and no matter how much you zoom in you can't get a bigger picture. Amongst others, you can flip, rotate, or specify a custom resolution for the image.

Unfortunately, there are no image editing options whatsoever, not even the possibility to set transparency. Although you can save the to some of the most commonly used image formats, somehow it is not possible under the ICO format.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Thumbico is a small and reliable application you can use to get ahold of any icon you might want to use in your projects. It's incredibly easy to use and can be stored on a removable storage device and used on a wide array of configurations. Although there aren't any editing options, it's still practical and instantly retrieves the corresponding image.
