Icon Creator Description
When it comes to designing digital icons, tech-savvy users are no longer the only ones who can generate high-quality results.
There is a flurry of apps you can turn to, even if you are a novice, and Icon Creator is one of them.
Simplistic and straightforward GUI
This utility comes with an unimpressive, yet user-friendly graphic interface where you can import your icons or start new ones from scratch.
Once the data has been loaded, you can preview details about each image, such as name, height, width, color depth and extension.
Import or create icons
If you prefer the to import existing items, you need to browse manually to the location of your files, since drag and drop actions are not supported. The source format is not only ICO but also EXE or DLL, meaning that you can extract resources from your executable files with a single mouse click.
When you need to design new icons, you can start by importing a local graphic file, be it PNG, GIF, BMP, JPG, JPEG or TIFF. Next, you can specify the color depth and size you are interested in, and you are done.
Edit icons’ sizes and color depths
You get the possibility to alter the size of any loaded image, no matter if it is a part of an icon or it is a standalone pic. More precisely, you can choose one of the integrated presets (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 128×128 and 256×256), or you can define your own custom width and height.
Additionally, you can tamper with the color depth by switching to one of the available templates: True Color + Alpha Channel, True Color, 256 Colors, 16 Colors or 2 Colors.
All in all, Icon Creator can prove to be a reliable solution for those who want to generate custom icons for their projects, yet who are not willing to spend a lot of time getting familiarized with complex programs.
