Elephicon is a free, open-source desktop application designed to convert PNG images into icon files for Windows and macOS. It provides a graphical interface for the png2icons conversion utility, eliminating the need for command-line operations. Users can generate Microsoft ICO and Apple ICNS files from existing PNG images. The software automatically includes multiple icon resolutions to accommodate different display sizes and system requirements. It supports images with transparency and accepts non-square source images. Although 1024 × 1024-pixel PNG images are recommended, smaller images can also be processed. Elephicon includes configurable settings through a context menu and supports multiple interface languages. Built with Electron, it simplifies icon creation for designers and developers.
