Bradicon is a web service that will convert any image you upload to 32-bit icons in ICO format that you can then download.

A cool little site that can instantly convert any image you upload to it into ICO icon format. Of course, this can also be done by many freeware programs that you can install locally, such as the IcoFX icon editor (which can also do image to ICO conversions in batch), or Imagicon. However, if you don’t convert images to icon regularly and/or don’t care to install a program on your machine for a handful of conversions, Bradicon is a great resource that works really well. More info on this one:

• Supports JPG, GIF, PNG image types as input, and outputs 32 bit icons in ICO format.
• ICO file includes 3 sizes: 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48. Transparency is preserved.
• Conversion example: see the image to the right.

In summary: generally a nice resource to have that works very well.

Version Tested: the site as of 6/3/2008.
