This software enables users to transform their images and pictures into icons.
FastIcns operates by selecting your preferred file, folder or image and dragging it over the cube on the application's interface. Check the preview and then double-click the cube to save it in icns format, as a resource-fork-only file or as a PNG image effortlessly. Alternatively, users can also drag another file holding the Command key to assign it to an icon.
This software supports all popular image formats, including transparent images and Windows icons. Even generic files or folders can be utilized to derive an icon with FastIcns. The software can even assist in converting icons from one format to another.
Users can provide icns files as icons for a bundle, particularly for Mac OS X applications that use this feature extensively. Moreover, icons in resource-fork-only files are convenient to distribute and provide an immediate preview in the Finder. This format is also useful for copying icons.
FastIcns offers simple editing functions to rotate or flip your images before the conversion in case of any displacement. Users can assign icons to already existing files or folders easily by choosing the "Assign to file or folder" option from the File menu. Batch conversion of more than one file is also possible.
With FastIcns, users can even change the cube's size by dragging it while pressing the Shift key or dragging it from the lower right angle. The cube can be disabled from the Edit menu for those who find it confusing. The software's save dialog allows users to change the sizes of the saved icons with ease.
In summary, FastIcns is a competent application that provides an easy to use design to create icons in a hassle-free manner on the Mac.
