PNG to Ico

Anyone know how to change a .png to a windows icon file?. Anything that could do a while load at once?

Irfan View can do that. It can convert any format that it can open, and it can open a lot of them, to ico.

But whatever program you use make sure to resize your png or whatever to desired size. Ico is uncompressed format, and if you just convert full size image it will have probably several megabytes in size.

First resize original image to 32x32, or whatever you want, Irfan View can also resample image, which should give more quality output, although it is not very important when you are downsizing, and then convert to ico.

You can make an image in Ps then save it as an .ico.

Should work as a charm, haven't needed it since CS 1, though.
