Icons from File 5.1.1

Icons from File is a useful Windows software designed for extracting icons or icon arrays from various files including EXE, DLL, OCX, etc. One of its main features is the ability to scan folders and search for files that contain icons. The extracted icons can be saved in various formats such as ICO, BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, or EMF files, and all icons from selected files can also be extracted and saved to a selected folder or exported to a HTML document or dBase 5 file. Additionally, the program allows for exporting operations via the command line.

The program is easy to use and offers different ways to extract icons from a file, such as selecting the file from a list of recently used files, dragging and dropping the file into the program's work area, or selecting the file from a list of icons contained in files shown at the bottom after a search for icon-containing files. All of the icons contained in the selected file will be shown in the work area, and if there are no icons present, the associated icon will be shown instead.

Icons from File also offers the option to switch between large or small icons using the Options button. After the icons are shown, the program allows for exporting them to graphic, HTML, or DBF files, printing them, or copying the selected icon to the clipboard using the corresponding buttons. It's worth noting that no changes are made in the source file when extracting icons.

One of the most useful features of Icons from File is its ability to export all icons as separate graphic files, with the program automatically naming the files based on the source file name and icon number. For example, if the source file name is "winword.exe" and the destination format is BMP, the files will be named "ico_winword001.bmp," "ico_winword002.bmp," and so on. Overall, Icons from File is a helpful tool for extracting icons from files and offers a range of exporting options to suit different needs.
