FXIconcreator

Considering that it is a powerful element that illustrates the main idea, having the right icon can sometimes make or break the success of a product. FXIconcreator is a simple and straightforward tool designed to help you create icon sets of different resolutions that you can employ with other projects.

The setup is a quick and straightforward process, but does not create a desktop icon so you need to access the app from the Program Files to get started. The interface consists of a single window that points out what types of files you can add for creating your icon sets. Simple drag and drop or browse to the PNG image to process your file.

As indicated there, the app solely works with PNG files with a 512x512 pixel resolution. If you have other types of images, you need to convert them first. Once you meet this requirement, creating the sets of icons can be done with a push of a button.

It goes without saying that the end result is an ICO file you can further process according to your needs and preferences. In other words, simply extract it via a third-party tool and you have multiple choices of sizes and resolutions to choose from. The app can create icon sets for Linux, Mac and Windows.

You may argue that there are dozens of web tools that can create icons for you and basically, you should not install an application just for this purpose. On the other hand, most of these online tools do not embed the multi-resolution feature.

If you are looking for a precision tool that enables you to quickly create optimal icon sets with multiple resolutions, then perhaps you can consider giving FXIconcreator a try.
