Publisher's description of Icon Constructor
From Icon Constructor:
Icon Constructor converts BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PSD, TGA, and TIFF formats into Windows icons. You can find many images on the Internet and convert them to icons for use on your Windows desktop and in applications. It supports Windows XP icons in 32-bit color depth with an alpha channel; now you can create semitransparent XP icons easily. With only a few clicks, any image you find on the Internet or create in a paint program can be turned into an icon. Assign eye-catching icons to individual Windows folders, making every folder different. Our FriendlyLINK technology allows for the ability to create icons using pictures of your friends and family. By clicking on this icon, the default e-mail client will start and you'll be able to send an e-mail. The simple Icon Constructor interface makes it easy to change the look of an individual folder.
Version 2.3 features a new user interface and styles, and adds ICQ, AIM, and e-mail shortcuts.

Editor's review of Icon Constructor
With its well-designed and stylish interface, Icon Constructor 2 is a good fit for a broad audience but may not be sufficiently robust for professional use. Icon Constructor takes images and transforms them into icons. Once created, the icon can be saved as a separate ICO file, attached to a folder or sent via e-mail. The clean interface is well designed and is easy to use for even the most basic computer operator. To convert, simply select a few basic options (all in clear buttons on the main program page). Icon Constructor doesn't allow image editing, but can crop or adjust the brightness/contrast of an image. It also allows you to change the size of icons, if the three predefined options aren't what you're looking for. The selection of image frames are limited. Overall, Icon Constructor is a basic yet reliable program that should please users looking to simply assemble icons without much fuss or frills.
