IconEmpire gives professional and amateur artists the ability to design and edit all the graphics required in the software development cycle, including icons, static and animated cursors, and other interface elements. All these graphics can now be designed using a single application.
IconEmpire offers a variety of features that cannot be found in standard graphics applications. IconEmpire includes the ability to import icons from executables, image and library files.
