We use Icons for various different purposes. Mainly you’ll need nice looking icons to customize the desktop look and feel. If you are developing software you’ll need icons for more serious interface designing purposes.
In most of the cases you will need icon files in different sizes to match with the design. You can easily get it done with Adobe Photoshop but converting it in to ICO format could be a problem to you. If you need portable solution to get this kind of work done, again you will run in to problem with Photoshop.
To save your day, there is an online tool by the name ConvertIcon. I was introducing lots of online tools recently and as same as most of them, this is also a Rich Internet Application.
