Introduction of BS Icon Maker

If you want to make icons by yourself, but you have not any drawing ability, how can you do? Maybe this icon maker will help you.

With BS Icon Maker, you can draw a cartoon-like icon from a photo:

It's easy to use, just load the photo, then adjust the slider bars.

If you haven't heard of "Anti-aliasing", please look at the following lines, does the left one looks "unprofessional"?

Anti-aliasing is an important tech for an icon maker, without this tech, we can't distinguish a 5 pixels width ellipse from a 5 pixels width round rectangle.

BS Icon Maker provides anti-aliasing for Line, Rectangle, Ellipse and Text.

Sometimes, we need write text on icon, but the icon is too small to write enough characters, to write more characters, we have to write rotated text.

To write rotated text via BS Icon Maker is easy, we can rotate to any angle by dragging the handle.

BS Icon Maker includes an Icon Library Editing tool, by this tool you can create or edit ICL files. Far more than ICL file, this tool can extract icons from EXE, DLL, OCX and CPL files.

There are many effects and filters in this icon maker, such as Emboss, Blur, Prewitt Edges, Stroke, and Sharpen.

BS Icon Maker provides a History Window. You can instantly undo or redo multiple steps with this window.

Microsoft Vista comes with a new format of icons. Vista Icons differ from Windows-XP Icons, Vista Icons have a maximum size of 256x256 pixels, and supports 32-bit icons, which are 24-bit images with an 8-bit alpha channel. BS Icon Maker provides completely support for Windows Vista Icons.
