Axialis IconWorkshop is an icon editor developed by Axialis Software. IconWorkshop can create icons for Windows (.ico), Macintosh (.icns) and UNIX-like systems (.png).[2][3] IconWorkshop includes a library of objects that can be put together to create many different styles of icons.[4] The utility supports plugins and allows importing graphics directly from Photoshop and Illustrator.
Software developers can edit icons directly in image strips.[5] These images are used to populate button icons in application toolbars. Since version 6.50, the user can create and edit raster images directly without using the icon image export feature.[6]
The product is cited in an article from Microsoft Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines about Windows Vista icon creation.[7] Axialis Software in association with Microsoft offers a free version called IconWorkshop Lite. This version is available to registered users of Visual Studio 2008 Standard or above.[8][9]
Clubic reviewed the application, giving it 4.5 stars out of 5, saying that "it allows doing everything with icons, and its tools are easily accessible which makes the software intuitive".[10] IconWorkshop has been nominated in the category "Best Graphics Program or Utility" at the 2005 Shareware Industry Awards.[11]
