Ico Creator

Creating icons can be an easy task if the right application is used. In my case, that choice was named Ico Creator, and it proved to be essential in a couple of projects where time was both money and of the essence. I realized that procedures we think might be complicated at times don't have to be if you do your homework right and find the best choice to fit your portfolio.

With such programs, I have become a tad suspicious. They promise a quick and painless process and end up not working or causing all sorts of errors and issues. That was not the case here. The whole system is foolproof and requires one to simply drag and drop or select through path selection an image file, which is then supposed to become a new ICO file for use with your project. I did exactly that, and moments later I had my ICO file without much fuss and issues.

An extra option will provide even fewer problems, and that is the resizing choice, which means your image will be cut to fit the square icon system we're used to. Symmetry remains important and, as I was about to find out, something I did not take into account could have easily become a problem. Thankfully, this was not the case, as this particular option helped me. The results were also high quality.

When your image has been processed, you will have ended up with a couple of choices, ranging from 16 by 16 to a whole 128 by 128. If you're interested in going higher, you will have to pay a small sum, unfortunately, since the app will offer you results in its free form up to 128 px. Regardless, I found its functionality, even in this case, to be sufficient for my small-time projects and due to its very straightforwardness, I ended up being more productive and winning much-needed time.

Ico Creator is indeed a cool application you should consider if you want to create ICO files quickly and without any issues.
