Ever had to
extract images from an .ICO file, but didn't find a simple, free tool for this
task?
I have just
ran into this and was quite surprised that most of the tools out there are
either shareware or way too complex in my opinion.
So I had a
look into the decoding/encoding capabilities of .NET and came around with a few
lines of code that do exactly what I need, everything wrapped into a tiny
console application.
As it might
be useful for others too, I decided to extend the app a bit so that it supports
multiple images formats. The full project is available on GitHub (licensed under the GNU General Public License): https://github.com/p0sti/IcoConverter
For those
that don’t want to compile the project on their own, here is the standalone
executable that contains all of the required assemblies:
Sample usage:
Please find
the full usage information for the tool below.
Should anyone have a question about usage, found a bug, etc. please drop me a note in the comments below.
