Create Icons and Favicons Easily With IcoFX

There are several icon editing programs available on Internet. Some are shareware, while others are free. I have tried many programs, but IcoFX is the best icon and favicon editing software. It is freeware and has some easy to use advanced features, available only in some commercial counterparts. The favicon of freshtechtips has been created in IcoFX in less than 10 minutes.


IcoFX: Icon and Favicon Editing Software


IcoFX gives you the flexibility to create icons in different standard sizes and of different color depths.

Color Depths

  • True Color + Alpha Channel (32 bits)

  • True Color (24 bits)

  • 256 color (8 bits)

  • 16 Colors (4 bits)

  • 2 Colors (1 bit)



Size

  • 16x16

  • 24x24

  • 32x32

  • 48x48

  • 256x256

  • User define custom size



Icon editing is supported by all standard image editing tools like sharpen, blur, shading, negative and much more. Advanced color palette generation is integrated within the icon editor, making it every easy to work on.

It also has an screen capturing tool to take selective parts of desktop as an icon. I was particularly impressed by the batch processing feature of IcoFX, that lets convert a group of icons into images and vice versa in a single click.
