Batch Create Icons

This command lets you instantly convert several images into their icon equivalents in the ICO format.

Select "File" and "Batch Create Icons from Images". A window is displayed:

First of all, you have to determine the destination folder for the output files. You can select an existing folder using the Browse button or directly enter a custom path in the field. Note that if the path does not exist, it will be created.
Secondly you need to specify all images you want to convert into icons.
- To add a new image to the list, press the Add File(s) button and you will be prompted for selecting the file(s).
- To remove a file from the list, highlight it and then press Remove.
Press OK when you are ready.

How does it work?

Each image is automatically converted into a single ICO file (same filename + .ico extension) placed in the destination folder.

Size: each icon file will have a single icon image whose size is the same as the original image (e.g. if you have a 32x32 PNG file, you will get a 32x32 ICO file).

Color depth is always set to 24-bit (even if your image source only contains 256 colors for instance); but if an alpha channel is available, then a 32-bit icon is created: alpha channels are always kept.
