IconChanger is a program for Windows that enables you to change icons of individual files. For instance, if you have multiple MP3 or DOC items, you may assign custom graphics to your favorite songs or documents.

Assign icons to files

By default, the operating system displays the identical icon for all files that have the same extension. With the help of this utility, you can choose a suitable image and apply it to distinguish objects apart. To customize all icons in the system, you may try a tool like IconPackager.

Additionally, it is possible to select icons for folders and shortcuts. You have the option to pick the representation of the whole file type, i.e. for all items with the given extension. By dragging your favorite icons to a list you can have easy access to them later on.

Search, copy, and save

The software gives you the means to search for icons within directories on your computer. This is useful when you want to discover and use specific images. You can also view icons that are embedded within a file. Thereby, you may discover hidden items.

You have the ability to save icons as files in ICO format. This provides you with the flexibility to store and organize graphics for future use. Alternatively, you can simply copy an icon to the clipboard and paste it in other applications or documents.
