I like Irfanview, but have uninstalled it because i hardly use it.
Question - Can it create .ico (icon) images from normal jpeg or png images?
thanks

I would go for Photofiltre as my first choice simply because it does so much
in such a small package.
To answer your question, YES, Irfanview will Save As... an icon file.
I think you can also create icons in Paint (from a distant memory) by simply
saving as a bmp and then renaming the file as an ico file. eg. Save as
xxxx.bmp and then rename to xxxx.ico

OK, thank you all. I'll have a go at Irfanview, and Photofiltre if need be.

missed the original post but have a look at IcoFX, one of its functions
is: makes icons from images.
