icogen

Quickly convert image files into Windows .ico files

I often need to convert an image into a .ico file and often turn to some web-based service to do this (just drag and drop the image, out comes a .ico, etc). I shouldn't have to go online to do this quickly and easily, hence this tool. It is small and only does 1 thing, and will only ever do one thing, by design. This is a thin CLI wrapper around the image crate.
