Galley Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Not to flame anyone here, but could I make a suggestion? Could some all powerful moderator/Admin PIN a thread about converting PNGs to ICOs and ICOs to PNGs...so people don't ask this question every 4 days? Just a thought.The Burning Rom what we need it a tutorials forum, and JUST TUTORIALS, no requests. and pin the most important ones, lol :shifty: Axialis has tons of tutorials on their site. Icon Workshop can't be beat! http://axialis.com/tutorials/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77026-how-to-convert-png-to-ico/page/2/#findComment-1223689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmerz28 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 How bout .ico to .png? So that all the kewl icons I want to use for Object Dock I can, since it only supports .png?

(Sorry if this question has been asked before) I think Icon Sushi also allows you to export ICOs to PNGs. Axialis Iconworkshop also does the trick very nicely (with a batch convert function as well).

Shovel Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 IrfanView can handle this too. Although technically true, IrfanView doesn't do alpha channels - unless there's a plug in for dealing with such things?

goheels681 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Also Photoshop 7 can change png to a ico filein the save menu change it setting to all files type in *.ico for the filename it will switch then put the filename and save it I have PS-CS and that isn't true (I don't think). When I go to save, there is no "All Files (*.*) option, and when I do "iconname.ico" (with quotes), the icon FOR the icon is just a white piece of paper, with the program with 6 dots in it. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/77026-how-to-convert-png-to-ico/page/2/#findComment-1708941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmerz28 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Is there any way in IconWorkshop to convert a whole folder of .png into .ico at once instead of having to do each one, one at a time?
