Editors’ Review
Download.com Staff Feb 27, 2009 The unsophisticated Frontbase Image to Icon lacks the kinds of features and usability that would make it first-rate. You can create nonanimated icons (including translucent ones for Windows XP), but the interface isn’t convenient; you must manually design icons containing several images of different resolutions and color depths. The drop-down image list didn’t impress us, either. Of the commands integrated into the Windows Context menu, JPEG conversion is the most useful. Frontbase Image to Icon’s editing tools are conducive to experimentation, as you can always undo or revert. Without a tool to change local system icons, however, the program is unlikely to appeal to nondesigners, and most design professionals will probably want a more convenient tool. For that group in between, the intermediate or occasional designer, Frontbase Image to Icon may be of use.
