IcoFX is an award winning freeware icon editor. It is an all-in-one solution for icon creation, extraction and editing. It is designed to work with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Macintosh icons supporting transparency.

This secret gem of a tool is really handy if, like me, you occasionally develop applications for Windows or Mac, or if you want to create your own “favicon” in .ico format for a website.

While Visual Studio can create icons for Windows and there are various online generators, this application has a wealth of features that make it a much better tool.
