Peter Panino Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) I am often loading and editing SVG files in Affinity Designer for Mac. It offers excellent tools. However, I need to export to .ICO format. The ICO format is an essential image format in Windows containing several pixel frames. Currently, I export the SVG to individual PNG images (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, etc.) and then convert/combine these PNG images to ICO in Axialis IconWorkShop. This is a lengthy, cumbersome, and time-consuming process. It would be very convenient if it would be possible to export from Affinity Designer directly to ICO format (of course containing a customizable set of pixel formats).

MusliDesign Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 @Peter. I like your suggestion. I used to do converting logos to ico format last time when I worked in a website design company (my previous job). Plus, we did not believe in online converter services at that time due to privacy matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophie201 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I second this. No ICO export is frustrating for me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Panino Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Axialis IconWorkshop can now load SVG files and convert them to ICO. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
