Icons from File - Extract Icons from EXE and DLL Files

Key Features of Icons from File

• Icons from File is a resource extraction utility designed to mine icon resources from compiled executables and system files.
• Windows files (such as .EXE, .DLL, and .OCX) often contain hundreds of high-quality icons used by the system and applications.
• This tool allows graphic designers, developers, and customization enthusiasts to scan these files and extract the embedded icons for use in their own projects or desktop themes.
• The interface is straightforward: users import a file or scan an entire folder.
• The software displays a grid of all icons found within those files.
• Users can then select specific icons and save them in standard formats like ICO, BMP, JPEG, or EMF.
• It can also export the entire collection as a single HTML contact sheet or a printed catalog.
• Icons from File supports the extraction of all icon sizes and color depths, including the high-resolution Vista/Windows 7+ icons.
• It is a valuable tool for recovering lost assets—for example, if a developer loses the original source image for their application icon, they can extract it back out of the compiled program using this tool.
