    Hello, Im near completeion of a windows app and now need to generate my .ico for the forms(and shorctcut). Ive googled and looked around to convert\create .png into .ico but the applications I have found so far seem unable to convert my .png into .ico while maintaing quality. I need an app that can design all the way from 16 x 16 upto 256x256. Is there a industry standard app that does this? or what else do you use? thanks

      I'm using IcoFX. It's good enough.

        Yes if you are trying to create icon from Image then image color some information will be lost. So you should need to open Your image to icon Creator then Correct it as per your requirement.

        If you can think then I Can.

          I used either Paint.NET or GIMP (I can't remember which... probably GIMP) to save an image in layers. Doing so, you can create an icon with multiple resolutions in one (Winodws will choose the proper resolution depending on how big the icon being displayed is). You could probably find similar instructions by searching for "create layered application icon with GIMP" (replace with "Paint.NET" too) or something like that.

            There is a free integrated version of Axalis Icon workshop knocking around for VS users. I found it via Scott Gu's blog, where he recommended it.

            Dalek Dave: There are many words that some find offensive, Homosexuality, Alcoholism, Religion, Visual Basic, Manchester United, Butter. Pete o'Hanlon: If it wasn't insulting tools, I'd say you were dumber than a bag of spanners.
