Aveiconifier

Cool program

Bye.

[MaJoR]

Aveicon is great, however, it can't make icons with multible sizes. Is there a free program to make icons that have multiple sizes?

[texdragon]

What I do is just rename the png ... is this not what your trying to attempt?

[The2]

Use Axilias Icon Workshop, however not free, I think has a trial

[MaJoR]

Multiple sizes in ONE file. It's the only way to get really good icons in windows.

ConvertIcon.com

This handy little web application lets you convert between PNG and ICO formats without losing any quality or downloading any software.

You forget to mention Stardock's solution, it has the most advanced filtering and you can control it much better than axialis's filtering. Plus Stardock's solution gives you more icons in less time since when you've configured it to your liking it does the rest almost automatically

Are you talking about IconPackager?

I think he was talking about IconDeveloper. It's what I use. Gives really good results and you can choose which file formats you want to have. You can also create icon libraries (.icl files) and packages for icon packager.

RWIE can:

- generate any number of image formats from 1x1 pixel to 256x256

- sharpen/soften each format differently

- add different shadow to each generated format

- apply gamma correction

- detect background color

- remove empty border

- and that all in batch...

Hi guys,

I found a free plug-in that enables Photoshop to save images (probably png) as windows icons (.ico). I thought I'd share this find but I'm not sure if it's allowed to post such links on this board . Let me know what I can do.

[redeemed]

As far as I know, that's alright. :)

[usedHONDA]

Um yeah. Not sure if this has been said, but Paint.NET supports ICO (icon), CUR (cursor), and ANI (animated cursor) with the help of a small plugin. I used it to make my "Next OS" cursor pack as well as many icons.

So I guess that's case closed, isn't it?

BTW, I can safely say that I'm the biggest Paint.NET fan. Reason being that I have the 2nd highest amount of posts on their forum (next to the admin).

Don't no if it suggested before but this one looks good. Don't know about the quality.

My favorite is still @icon sushi. Very small and still has everything you need, and it's free! :)

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

thanks man, i have follow this is good and easy, but the shadow is terrible, so as the other free programe... is there any way to make it like the original png?

i have try photoshop, it is not perfect but the best shadow i can get so far, but way too slow, have to do it one by one, it will take me a week to do all 4000 of them (please don't ask me why do i need so many of them, some people just like to collect something look nice :p )...

i think most people here is like me, go around and collect a ton of png, now asking for a easy way to convert all of them to ico, but we want the best quality like the original...

the question is: is there any way 'Axialis IconWorkshop' can convert png to ico by batch with perfect shadow? or any other programe can?

thank u very much.

[Spyro88]

after i convert icon by using 'Axialis IconWorkshop', it appear in window explorer with very small icon (16x16), is there anyway i can view them in larger image like 128x128?

[APH-Alex]

Get that one plug-in for photoshop and just save it as an ICO

[Spyro88]

so the best result will be using 'Axialis IconWorkshop' to convert .png to .ico (for create it to many size)

than, use 'photoshop' to save .ico to .ico (for bigger view in window explorer 128x128)

is that right?

can i just use 'Axialis IconWorkshop' to convert .png to .ico (for create it to many size)

is there any setting in 'Axialis IconWorkshop' can make it a bigger view in window explorer? because 16x16 is way too small to view...

ico plug in for photoshop, and a utilty to bundle together icons in different sizes.

Google search "ico photoshop filter" and it's the first result, it's amazing what a little research can do. When you go through 50 pages on each of 10 google searches, that's when you start asking around.
