The quickest way of creating icons.
The quickest and most simple way to achieve an eye-catching icon is to design it as if it was an image with good resolution and pass it through
Image 2 Icon Converter,
so that is becomes an icon with the features that we want it to have.
Once open
Image 2 Icon Converter, it only allows us to add an
image to a production queue, and on the right we can choose between some small options. Nevertheless, its work is extremely depurated, and once we click "Convert" we will obtain the
icon perfectly converted to ICO format, the Windows standard.
The icons can be configured so that they have
various sizes, from
16x16 (the classic favicons that are shown beside the browser address) to a maximum of
256x256 icons, an enormous size that can be made the most of with high definition screens.
The transformation of
icon images is practically instantaneous and before converting it,
Image 2 Icon Converter allows to open it to know exactly what colors form part of it (and thus know it it will transcode properly to ICO format, or configure the background color and transparency).
Requirements: It is necessary to have .Net Framework 2.0 installed.
