Icon Maker is another perfect solution if you are looking to create high quality icons quickly. The requirement is that both dimensions of the source image must be equal and should be either 256px or less. Images of any format can be imported, but the output will be saved in 32-bit color with an alpha channel.

Just drag and drop the images or use the Import option from Files menu. Once the images have been added, go to File > Save icon to save them in .ico format.

It is a dead-simple portable app with basic features to convert the images to icons. If you are looking for other tools with broader set of options, check out Imagicon and ToYcon.

Looking for a quick way to convert PNG image to ICO format? We have previously covered a portable app for this purpose called ImagIcon. ToYcon is another powerful utility that allows quick conversion from various image formats to ico formats. The benefits of ToYcon over ImagIcon is that it allows two way conversions between png & ico and also supports more options and resolutions.

Just drag & drop the image you want to convert to icon into the dropbox and it will convert and save it instantly. By default, the icon will be saved in the same directory where the image(source) is located, but you can also choose a custom directory(if Choose Destination option is enabled).

By default it converts Png into Ico format, but you can change that by right-clicking the dropbox selecting Choose Type, and then choosing the desired conversion formats.

It has special tab for Vista and Windows 7 where you can choose formats and generate compressed icons(this options is optional). Also you will find a tab for Icon to Png conversion.
