Pichon

Graphic designers and pretty much all users who need to personalize the looks of a software product or of a website will need, among many other things, a fresh set of icons that are suited for that application or webpage.

In case creating a whole iconset from scratch may seem time-consuming and you are not willing to spend hours learning and exercising a new craft, a utility like Pichon could be the solution you are looking for.

Setting up Pichon is a rather simple task, but it may take a few minutes until it is complete because of the impressive number of icons it has to copy onto disk. Nonetheless, in a short while you will be able to deploy it and from the system tray area bring up its GUI by clicking its icon.

The interface, as you will notice immediately, is quite nice to look upon and highly practical as it keeps all its functions in plain sight, for easier access. Also, there is a generous space allocated to the icon preview, so you can look at a great number of items in the same time.

Pichon is very well organized and all the icons it comes with are placed under relevant categories to make them easier to retrieve. The built-in search function is extremely fast and as you type you will see the results starting to appear.

A great thing about the entries indexed by this program is that they bear relevant tags, so it is possible to perform a query using a term that is not necessarily a category or file name and still get accurate results.

What's more, Icons8 will enable you to find similar icons, copy the icon image or its file shortcut, all these from the menu that appears when right-clicking any item from the list.

To sum things up, this software solution seems to be one of the best users can hope for, first of all thanks to the great speed in finding the icons. The huge number of items it brings is also a big plus, as is the utmost ease of use which makes this tool well suited for all types of users.
