Create Icons Easily

Shiny Frog is pleased to announce Img2icns 1.0, their icon creation tool for Mac OS X. Img2icns is a simple, quick application for converting images to icons or icons to images, keeping them neatly filed and ready to use. Creating an icon is just as easy as drag’n’dropping one or more images on to Img2icns and choosing an export format – the same goes for creating images from icons.
Img2icns will make attaching icons to files an easy task. Just drop some files on the preview box, and the icon will be applied immediately. The history will track all the icons you’ve created, so you can apply them later. Img2icns can also convert Icons into Images in the same easy way.
