With an innovative and easy to use interface, you can create your icons for Mac in only two steps.

- How does FastIcns works?
Pick your favourite file, folder or image and drag it over the cube; check the preview and then double-click the cube to save as an icns file or as a resource-fork-only file.

- Which kind of image formats are supported?
FastIcns supports all common image formats, including transparent images and Windows icons. Just try it! ;)

- What happens if I drag-in a generic file or folder?
Its icon is captured in order to proceed to icon generation. It can be useful if you want to convert icons from a format to the other.

- What's an icns file useful for?
You can provide it as an icon for a bundle. For example, Mac OS X applications use this format for their icons.

- What's an icon in a resource-fork-only file useful for?
That is the kind of file you'll find for example on interfacelift.com to distribute icons, as these files provide an immediate preview in the Finder and are easy to copy icons from. So this is the format recommended to distribute your icons too!

What's New:
Universal Binary
Saving the resource fork doesn't overwrite an existing file
Set icon for file or folder on command+drop
Simple edit operations from menu
Options to change cube's color and to show a direction reference
Bugfixes
