AIconExtract

With the assistance of AIconExtract you can seamlessly navigate disk directories to view icons and extract icons. This an approachable software application that features intuitive options for first-time and advanced users alike. Supported file types include EXE and ICO.

Once the speedy and uncomplicated setup operation is done, you are welcomed by a common-looking window with a built-in Explorer-based folder structure to help you browse directories and examine icons.

The program shows the name, type and size, along with the total number icons, cursors and bitmaps of each file. The supported file types are written in regular black text, while the unsupported ones are shown in grey text (greyed out effect), so you can easily tell them apart.

After selecting a file from the list, AIconExtract reveals the containing icons (large and small), along with any cursors and bitmaps. Any selected icon can be copied to the Clipboard as an image, while all icons can be extracted and saved to file with the ICO, BMP, JPEG and CUR format.
