Convert Image to Icon

Creating icons for your software projects shouldn’t be too difficult, but it is often necessary to use several applications in order to create images of multiple sizes and pack them into an ICO file.

Convert Image to Icon is a simple, open-source program that creates all the necessary lower images sizes from a source picture and then bundles them into an icon file that can be exported easily.

This application was designed to provide users with a straightforward alternative to complex image editors, so it is no surprise that the UI is as simple as possible, with only two small buttons at the bottom for importing images and saving icons.

One more advantage is the fact that you won’t need to go through an installation process before using Convert Image to Icon, so it is very easy to deploy whenever you need to make an icon.

All you need to do in order to create an icon is import the source image file. The application will create the smaller image sizes automatically and display them in the main window for you to inspect.

What’s more, you can replace any of the images with an alternative before saving the icon. The size will be adjusted automatically, so you should be able to get everything done in no time.

We found this to be an excellent tool for users who need to quickly create an icon for a software project, but it does have one downside – you cannot load images by just dropping them in the main window, which would have saved quite a bit of time.

The bottom line is that Convert Image to Icon is a great choice for software developers who need a quick way to create icons, as it enables you to get the job done in seconds. It does not offer support for drag and drop, but this is the only major issue we have come across.
