Ico converter

Hello, All!

Anyone know of a freeware program like Image2Ico?
I need it for just the occasional time to convert jpg, bmp and gif files to
icos.

With best regards,

Tab.

Try Clic from http://blaizfree.net/CLIC.HTM
It has a 'paste-to-fit' option for this purpose.

Irfanview can do that.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try Clic but it doesn't appear to do ico
files. Or am I not looking in the right place?
Will try Irfanview next.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you open your .jpg or .bmp in your
imageviewer. Press control C, open Clic, go to edit-paste to fit, go to
file-save as, and save it as an .ico.
In Irfanview you can save it also easily as an .ico file, you might want to
resize it first, by going to image-resample/resize.
I use Clic mainly for the paste-to-fit function and the ability to drag a
cursor over your desktop to grab any visible image to create a presized
ico-file.
For easily creating desktop icons Clic is real handy.
Irfanview is a musthave for everyone in my opinion.

Hello, Rod!

Many, many thanks for that. It worked when I did it from Paint. Wouldn't do
it from the built in image viewer in win XP. (Windows image & fax viewer)
Just what I needed for the odd ico I need to create.
Again thanks for your time and advise, much appreciated.

Regards
