What it is
Quick Any2Ico is a portable Windows application for making icon files from images, files, folders, and resources. It can put up to 10 image sizes into an icon, ranging from 16×16 to 512×512 pixels, and save the result as ICO or PNG. PNG compression is available for large icon formats. For nonsquare images, users can center, crop, or stretch the source to fit a square icon. The app can also extract icons from executable and DLL resources or from open application windows. Batch tools handle picture folders, binary resources, and open windows. Windows utilities include setting folder icons, clearing the icon cache, refreshing or restarting the shell, and changing hidden or system file visibility. Command-line use and batch scripts support conversion and extraction. The free plan is free and limits batch creation to four icons, with manual updates. A license costs $20, paid once for one PC, removes that batch limit, and enables automatic updates.
