I usually import PNG or JPG file and convert them to icons (Win). 3. Easy to use, perfect resulting icon quality, easy to correct some minor details. 4. Does not require install, possible to manually copy it under <username>\AppData\Local\<foldername> for example. 5. GNU license, I can use it at home and the office. 6. Security: virus free (virustotal). Perfect for my needs. Many thanks to the author. Gilles

I needed to make a ICO file with multiple sizes for MSWindows. Worked like a charm. Definitely recommend!
Didn't even try it, and I won't. It's 2022, there's no excuse for any site, especially one delivering software, to be http only (not https). This not only allows for attackers to intercept the traffic and replace the download with a malicious one, but it also speaks to the lack of security mindedness of the developer, not something I want in software. This is at least the second one I've found in the past day, and IMO AlternativeTo should either not include and link to these, or it should place a warning to users. Many people come here looking for software and don't know better, and all it takes is for one of them to be compromised and those users will be negatively affected, and AlternativeTo will be complicit.
It's a software I've been using for years. First of all I would like to thank Mr. Balázs Szalkai for this very useful software. The software is simple and easy to use. Moreover, it is free. Therefore, it is two steps ahead of its alternatives.
So do I, when I create an icon for Windows, I just untick all the boxes except every 32-bit one. But the software doesn't remember my preference when restarted. Other than that, there is no problem.
I have been using this for years to create icons for my games/apps. Even if has not been updated up to today, it works perfectly for me. I usually use it along with Gimp, if I want to create an icon and copy/paste it on Greenfish or just download a PNG and drag and drop it on it. It also works if you want to extract an application icon, by again dragging and dropping the application on it, letting it extract it's icons.
When I create an icon for Windows I just untick all the boxes except every 32-bit one. I arrange then the icons on it's list so the 256 is first. Never really had a problem with it.
I've yet only used it once to create a .ico for one of my applications, pasting a 32x32 and a 16x16 pixel image into it from an image editor, so I can't really say if it's better or worse than any other icon editor. But for the purpose I'm using it, it works perfectly fine!
Oh, and it doesn't appear to contain any malware or PUP's or anything. I downloaded it directly from the (seemingly) official web site.
