iConvert Icons is a newly released Mac OS X app for converting and creating icons. While there are several apps available to convert images to icons, and a few others than convert icons to images, iConvert Icons bridges the gap – it can convert in both directions, images to icons, and icons to images. It can do all this quickly, using it’s automated batch conversion, and it can do so for less.
Price: $4.99
Developer: Mathew Eis
iConvert Icons has a very simple and intuitive interface; you can simple drop and drop icons, images, applications, and really any file (even folders with custom icons), and the output will be converted to one or more of the desired output formats. What makes this possible is the “auto-detection” feature, unique to iConvert Icons. This feature allows the program to determine the type of item dropped, and automatically choose the correct source for the input icon. This is especially useful for converting older Mac icon sets, where the icons are not always stored as image files – they might be files with custom icons, icns files, or even folder icons.
Another unique feature of iConvert Icons is support for SVG files. Unfortunately, it can’t convert TO SVG files, but it can convert most SVG files into icons or images. This makes many great SVG icons easily accessible for software development or web design. (Before, you had to download Inkscape, open the file, export as a PNG, edit with an image editor so it was the correct size, and finally convert the result to an icon.) With iConvert Icons, this takes a single step.
iConvert Icons is the perfect tool for developers, web designers, enthusiasts, and anyone else who might need to convert icons! Download it from the App Store today.
