3 Different Icon Set Licenses

Icon

Axialis IconGenerator has a free license. You can download, install and use all its features freely without limit of time.

  • Back when I doing this, Iconbuilder made the creation of resources for a variety of platforms a snap. Since it isn't mentioned, I'll do it: IconSlate is a fantastic app for creating both Windows (.ico) and Mac (.icns) icons. Simple to use, beautifully designed and does exactly what it says on the tin.
  • Background removal, icon restoration and much more Image2icon can make icons from any file or folder, not just images. You can apply the icon to any file, use it in templates or convert it in png or jpeg. Remove your image background in a few clicks for optimal results. Wash your files to restore their default Mac OS X icon.
