An Icon Editor from Siberia

What Siberian products do you know? Bears? Counts as one. Anything else? Nothing comes to my mind, too. Yet it seems there is something in Siberia besides bears and forests. Deep from the heart of Russia comes a graphics editor for small images. Meet Sib Icon Editor by free-icon-editor.com.

Is there something unique to this product? Something to tell it's definitely from Siberia? Well, there is a bear on its splash screen. And trees. Snowy trees. You see it every time launching Sib Icon Editor. Other than that, it's a great little utility that does precisely what the name says. And you know what? It's completely free!

Being a lightweight application designed for making and editing small raster images such as Windows icons, navigation buttons, toolbars and similarly tiny images, Sib Icon Editor is compact and performs extremely fast on any reasonably equipped PC. This is the sort of programs that come handy when you need something more sophisticated than Windows-standard Microsoft Paint, but don't want to have anything in common with the monsters of the industry such as Adobe Photoshop. And Sib Icon Editor does not disappoint.

Sib Icon Editor makes it easy to create and edit icons, toolbars and other small images of any size or aspect ratio. The editor supports images of 16, 256 and 16M colors, and makes it easy to use translucent alpha channels for 32-bit images.

Being a painting application, Sib Icon Editor lets you draw nice-looking icons with minimum effort. You can paint images with gradient and chess fill, and use any standard drawing tools such as pens, sprays and brushes. If all you need is a shadowed or disabled version of the same image, it is easy to apply semi-transparent or opaque shadows, modify opacity, blur, invert, grayscale, colorize, modify hue and saturation, rotate, roll or mirror an image. Replacing image colors looks especially effective if you are aiming for a small change of gamma or style for the entire collection of images. Needless to say, you can save the result as ICO, ICPR, BMP, JPEG or PNG files.

Sib Icon Editor offers numerous features to create and manage collections of icons. Icon collections are a perfect way to store and organize icons. You can import or export icons to and from the collections, add, edit and modify them at any time. If you get a nice set of Mac icons, Sib Icon Editor lets you convert them to Windows format.

Sib Icon Editor is absolutely free. There's nothing to pay, so what are you waiting for? Download your free copy at free-icon-editor.com!
