What it does
Axialis IconWorkshop is a Windows bitmap-icon authoring tool for ICO, ICNS, PNG and toolbar image strips. It supports multi-size generation, conversion and batch operations.
IconWorkshop prepares multi-size ICO, ICNS, PNG and toolbar-strip assets from supplied images or SVG input. Its editor, librarian and batch tools suit developers producing application icons at several resolutions.
The application runs on Windows. Photoshop and Illustrator transfer plugins are listed through their 2024 versions; the Visual Studio add-in lists 2005 through 2012. Check those versions before planning a plugin-dependent workflow.
A 30-day trial is available. Paid licensing is perpetual per developer, with updates included for one year. The purchased version continues working afterward, while access to later releases requires renewal.
