Iconic

Iconic is a powerful image conversion tool specially designed to help you convert pictures to the ICO format, store multiple icons in a single archive, compress, decompile them and more.

It features a minimalistic UI suitable for experienced users and novices alike, and it includes a brief but informative user manual.

When processing more than one image, you have the option of merging the pictures into a single ICO file, so that multiple versions of the same image, with different sizes and color depths, will be available to the OS.

Naturally, the application also allows you to convert each source file separately, and it supports the JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP formats.

The application can search for image files in multiple subfolders, and you can define the recursion depth manually.

Aside from converting images to ICO, the program is also capable of compressing them, as well as decompiling icons by extracting all their constituent images.

If the files you have imported do not match the required specifications, you can have the application edit them automatically by enabling the ‘Pre Process’ function.

Iconic also allows you to modify the properties of the processed icon files, such as the name of the author, copyright information and tags.

One of the great things about this application is the fact that it can be launched immediately and from any location, as it does not need to be installed on your machine beforehand.

The UI is fairly minimalistic, even perhaps a bit outdated, but it is easy to work with and gets the job done.

Overall, Iconic is a specialized software utility that can help you convert images to the ICO format, compress icons, decompile them and much more. It is very easy-to-use, as well as fully portable.
