IconDeveloper is a freeware program that lets users easily create their own Windows icons. IconDeveloper is different because it is designed in such a way so that non-technical users can also create icons.

An image copied into the clipboard can be pasted as an icon. It can load up virtually any common graphic format type up and turn them into icons.
New in v1.1 is an easier to use interface, support for larger icons, and some bug fixes.
