Aha-soft ArtIcons allows you to find and extract icons, create and edit icons, import and export icons and manage icon libraries. Using this program you can create and edit icons with image formats in either standard or custom sizes, with color depths up to 32-bit True Color with 8-bit alpha channel. This program features a sufficiently improved image editor that offers graphic artists a number of breakthrough features, including the ability to create icons with several raster layers. Paint tools include: color replacer, color selector, spray can, pencil, brush, flood fill, text tool, line tool, rectangle, curve, ellipse and enhanced gradient and chess fill.

ArtIcons allows you to import, export and change color palettes for icon images. You can import icons from .ico, .icpr, .ani, .cur, .wmf, .emf, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .psd, .xpm, .xbm, .wbmp, .rsrc and .gif files and import images from screen captures. You can export icon images to .ico, .icpr, .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png, .xpm, .xbm, .wbmp, .psd and .rc files. You can even extract icons from Windows executables, libraries (including .exe, .scr, .icl, .dll, .il, .nil, .ocx, .vbx, .dpl, .bpl and several other file types). You can modify icons inside existing executables.

With ArtIcons, you are can split compound icons into simple images and break down entire icon libraries into individual icons. You can also create your own icon libraries for better and more efficient icon storage. ArtIcons scans files and folders for icons, deletes identical icons from libraries, sorts icons within libraries, performs drag and drop operations to files from Windows Explorer or other file shells and drags and drops icons from one library to another. You can move icons between libraries as well as copy and paste images to other applications.

Other new features include the ability to manage large images, support for export and import of transparent PNG images, new interface, new flood fill patterns and effects, and more.
