Perfect Icon is a software solution for users who wish to customize their computer by altering the icons of their system files and folders. It is able to design icons from image files and export to popular file formats.

The application is easy to install and its hardware requirements can be met by all computers nowadays. Users can start designing their icons by opening an image file. They can select an area and Perfect Icon adapts it to fit icon specifications.

An interesting feature is that the application can capture the screen and allow users to use that image as a starting point for their icons. However, users cannot extract icons from any other files, like executables. The application is limited to creating icons from scratch.

Perfect Icon is capable of modifying file-type, folder and standard Windows icons. This enables users to give their computers a new feel. Users can always return to the basic cache by repairing any corrupt icons and rebooting their computers.

The application enables users to design their icons by applying different styles, effects and shadows. Icons can be tested prior to being applied to various files or folders. It is a useful feature, preventing users from using corrupted icons.

Users can create custom icons from a variety of sources, but the program lacks in the export department. The maximum size of the files is 48×48 pixels with 32-bit depth, meaning users cannot properly design icons for Windows 10, which supports 256×256. Even more so, there are no ways in which the application can be used to create icons for other types of devices outside the Windows operating system.

To put it briefly, Perfect Icon is a software solution that can extract icons from image files. Users are provided with a number of customizing features, allowing the creation of a unique product. Unfortunately, the application cannot design icons for other types of devices and does not support modern size formats in order to be truly competitive on the software market.
