Frequently Asked Questions - Filed under: Uncategorized — Mathew Eis @ 9:50 pm

 
  • I really like some of the icons that I see others converting – how can I download them?

    • We’d love to make them available, but it likely won’t happen soon; the bandwidth costs would be extensive to make it a free service, and we also have to figure out how to address potential copyright concerns. In the meantime, iConvert is associated with We Love Icons – head over there and check them out!

  • How can I make an icon of “NxN” size?

    • iConvert automatically scales down and fills in all the necessary icon sizes for a particular format. So, if you upload a 256×256 image, all sizes from 256×256 and smaller will be created.

  • How can I make a web-optimized favico?

    • Simply upload a 16×16 image and download the resulting ico file.

  • Can I create Leopard 512×512 icons for Mac OS X? How about 256×256 icons for Windows 7 and Vista?

    • Yes! iConvert is at the cutting edge of icon technology, and fully supports all current releases of Mac OS X and Windows. Simply upload an icon or image of at least 512×512 (for full Mac OS X support) or at least 256×256. (for full Windows 7 / Vista support)

  • How can I choose different images for the standard sizes of icons?

    • iConvert currently uses the same image for all sizes of icons. However, an exciting new feature is coming soon that will allow you to generate icons with different images for each size.

  • Can you add support for additional formats?

    • Yes, but it takes time and development work, so don’t expect it to happen soon. We are currently working on the following:

    • Extracting the icons from .dll and .exe files
    • Extracting icons from Borland archives
    • Converting icons from Amigaico/newicon format
  • But… I have another question that isn’t answered here!

    • Ask your question here, and we’ll see what we can do
