How to convert .PNG to .ICO

[robsleezy]

Also Photoshop 7 can change png to a ico file

in the save menu change it setting to all files

type in *.ico for the filename

it will switch

then put the filename

and save it

Not to flame anyone here, but could I make a suggestion? Could some all powerful moderator/Admin PIN a thread about converting PNGs to ICOs and ICOs to PNGs...so people don't ask this question every 4 days? Just a thought.

The Burning Rom

what we need it a tutorials forum, and JUST TUTORIALS, no requests. and pin the most important ones, lol :shifty:

Axialis has tons of tutorials on their site. Icon Workshop can't be beat!

That XNView is indeed useful. Nice little program.

png2ico A great command-line tool that does the job quite nicely. And it's freeware.

MSPaint is the most simple program to convert PNG to ICO. Just try!

How bout .ico to .png? So that all the kewl icons I want to use for Object Dock I can, since it only supports .png? (Sorry if this question has been asked before)

I think Icon Sushi also allows you to export ICOs to PNGs. Axialis Iconworkshop also does the trick very nicely (with a batch convert function as well).

Awesome hush

Thx a bunch!

IrfanView can handle this too.

Although technically true, IrfanView doesn't do alpha channels - unless there's a plug in for dealing with such things?

I have a question, which one is better IconWorkshop or Microangelo.

[Galley]

I've never used Microangelo, but Icon Workshop has FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES!

Whats the plus to using png's converted to icons?

I want to convert Gant icons, but they dont comeout with the shadow properly. I need a program that converts the icons like they are shown in xp. with alpha blending

I use Microangelo sometimes, mut most of the time i use Photoshop 7 and Gif Movie Gear, the same tools ms used, Photoshop does the dropshadow perfectly

I have PS-CS and that isn't true (I don't think). When I go to save, there is no "All Files (*.*) option, and when I do "iconname.ico" (with quotes), the icon FOR the icon is just a white piece of paper, with the program with 6 dots in it. Any ideas?

[aam]

you can only save a png or whatever to an ICO if you have a plug-in.. there are freebee plug-ins..just do a search

Is there any way in IconWorkshop to convert a whole folder of .png into .ico at once instead of having to do each one, one at a time?

[acedriver]

Jimmerz28, use IconWorkshop File Explorer (Crtl+E), browse to the .png folder, select all .png files (Ctrl+A), right click and select Batch Create Windows Icons From Selection

Irfanview would do it, and costs nothing. Save it as an ico file.
