Icon sushi

Icon sushi is a lightweight graphic editor designed to create icons for your applications or desktop shortcuts. The program allows you to import graphical files or to extract the icons from executables in order to edit them.

You can also use the application to convert icons to BMP or PNG in order to use them in your projects. It allows you to load the images from ICO, EXE and OCX files as well as from Photoshop’s PSD format or from CPL files.

The main window of the application enables you to load multiple files and edit them individually by changing the icon’s transparency and alpha channel. Unfortunately, this tool can only be used for removing certain items from the image and does not allow you to add new colors or shapes.

The program can save the output as a single ICO file or use the icon library format when you need to save all the loaded images. This allows you to easily load the project that you are working on without having to find each item on your hard drive.

Although the program is easy to use, it includes a brief documentation that describes the main features and every option from the menu. Keyboard shortcuts are available for all the essential functions which makes the program valuable for the users who need to edit multiple files.

If you need to handle multiple images, the app includes a nice feature that enables you to easily organize the related items into groups. For now, you can only add items by using the menu since Icon sushi does not support drag and drop.

Overall, the Icon sushi editor is a useful tool for the users who need to create transparent icons or icon libraries. However, it lacks the ability to resize images or to edit colors which are rather important when working with icons.
