Hi there!
I would like to be able to take an image file and convert it into the .ico (icon) filetype. Does anyone know of (free) software that can do this?

I've been using "picture to icon" which is really good. Unfortunately after 15 converts it wants you to pay for it.

Best regards

IcoFx is the most suitable and free :)
