![]() ![]() A general editing package like AP and AD, with layers and all sort of tools, give you such power that I would never use the much limited painting solutions of many of those editors. But even with those, I used to prefer to retouch by hand, then import for each size in my converter, and pack there the. In a hurry, might let the automatic thing generate till 128x128 (512, 256.). would always prefer to do the entire icons in a full editing package like Photoshop (or AP/AD, in this case), and even editing each size by hand. the other ones above are 10x cheaper (I would only be able to use the 50$ version) or free.Īlso. IcoFx is amazing, used to be my favorite, but. The below one counts on Mac, Windows, and online version. I'm reading that it's powerful.įor the mac, this one seems to have a very complete export, and can import already created icons. The below one is open source, it seems is quite nice. I dislike any form of online editing tool, though, for some reasons. Is not a converter, is an actual editor (but also imports and exports). Pretty basic, but quite enough for many cases. This one is online, allows import of images. I've done pixel art with both AP and AD, both pretty reliable in that) Even if it does not allow even to paint over it, that's not crucial (having an AP and/or AD license. The important part imo is : that they allow importing images, specially PNGs, and of course, exporting / packing features. Some focusing on the packing/export, other in drawing.IMO the important for you is to be able to import images, and the export and pack into ico/dll/exe/.icns, etc, as you already have superb and much superior drawing and editing tools in AP/AD. Is command-line, but extremely flexible for this and many other things.įor visual control and quite many packing features, maybe check the below list. I also vote for the open source imagemagick. I think IcoFX allows making that too, now. Then came the need of making ~500 px sized icons (mostly for OSX back then) and etc, can't remember to what I did switched to. I really liked during many years the free version of IcoFX. There used to be a bunch of good ones, even those allowing to write directly in the exe, and even modify details in the exe of other nature (I used to work for a software company, this often allowed avoiding a re-compile when there was no time for a fast demo) If you need to pack icons (having several sizes in same ico file, etc) for an app in Windows, Mac OS, iOS, android, etc. If it were only to make the ico file for the IE favicon (IE always giving probs, since.always) I'd just use XnView, Irfan, Imagemagick or any other good converter. Any other utilities that work great for Windows? ![]()
