Meet IcoApp – my simple icon tool!

IcoApp grew from my experiments with the icon format discussed earlier.

IcoApp Window

Let’s recap: an .ico file is a container that stores multiple images (icons) in different sizes, color depths, and formats (bitmap for small sizes, PNG for larger ones).

Currently IcoApp lets you:

  • Open .ico files and export icons with transparency
  • Create new .ico files from existing images (added as-is)

Planned features:

  • Resizing and cropping images
  • Support for masked images (add, export)
  • View/extract icons from DLL/EXE support

This is an early preview with possible bugs - but fully usable! I’m already testing it while developing MusicApp.

Source code and standalone binary (portable) available on GitHub.
