Iconizer Pro is an application developed for generating a set of 32 bit (16 millions, full colors) icons from any pictures.

This feature is normally used for creating a background of CD, folder or other container windows.

The output icons can also be viewed on any Mac OS but Mac OS 8.5 or higher is required to view 32 bit color. Iconizer Pro-generated icons inside CDs can be viewed on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.

Here are some key features of "Iconizer Pro":
Icon outputs are 32 bits color depth, i.e. 16 millions color.
Icons can be viewed on Mac OS 6 through Mac OS X (32 bit icons require Mac OS 8.5 or higher).
Source images can be either picture clippings or QuickTime-compatible images, including PICT, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, GIF and Photoshop PSD.
The icons' names are very short.
Have "Clean Up" engine which allows to put deranged icons back to their original positions.
Iconizing engines run fast, about 30 icons/second on PowerBook G4 1 GHz.
Other features, e.g. drag and drop, navigation service (new Open dialog) and more.
Support Apple's 8 bits mask (DeepMask), i.e. the icons have different levels of transparency.
The icon masks are customizable. A good example of custom mask feature is the Iconizer Pro logo inside the Iconizer Pro package: Download sample or View sample online.
Create icons automatically using the contextual menu plug-in. (Mac OS X only).

Limitations:
Registration screen at startup.
Resulting icons are watermarked.

What's New:
Iconizer Pro contextual menu plug-in is now universal binary for both PowerPC and Intel Mac.
