ico format

Convert your images into Icons

When I create a shortcut on my desktop (I am using Windows), I sometimes like to personalize it. The above icon is a shortcut to my journal.   In the past I have used photoshop and a ico plugin to create icon files that I can use.    I recently came across a website that does just that.

http://www.convertIcon.com

You can use it as a web based application without downloading the program.

just upload your file to ConvertIcon and then it will give you a chance to save it in .ico format.

I did some checking to see if the site was safe and had a good reputation.  It does.  But I still am a little uncomfortable uploading my files to an online converter.  (Am I too old school?)  In any case, I found that there is a standalone version you can download that works on your desktop.

Here is the download link
