Description from the creator

Have you ever wanted an icon of your company logo? Or of your pet, favorite favorite sports team, favorite celebrity, favorite car, movie, game or whatever? Well, creating your own custom Windows Desktop icons is so easy you can literally do it in just a few minutes! I recently learned of a website called ICOConvert that makes creating your own icons as easy as uploading an image and clicking a few buttons. In this video I show you how to create your own icons using your favorite image editing software (I use Adobe Photoshop Elements) and then how to upload your image to ICO Convert, download your new custom icon and apply it to files and folders you want to customize. I was shocked when I learned just how easy it is to make custom icons and am excited for you to see just how easy it is too. Thanks for watching. Enjoy! :)

Convert your custom images into icons at ICOConvert.com
