✨ Key Features

• Instant Icon Replacement:
  Swap the default icon of any .exe file with a custom .ico file in seconds. Supports high-resolution icons (256x256) and standard sizes (48x48, 32x32).


• Safe Resource Patching:
  Unlike older tools that can corrupt files, V3 uses a non-destructive method to modify the PE (Portable Executable) resource table. The target program continues to function exactly as before.


• 📂 Drag & Drop Interface:
  User-friendly design. Simply drag your target application and your new icon into the window to queue them for processing.


• Portable & Lightweight:
  No installation is necessary. The tool is a single executable file that leaves no registry keys or junk files on your system.


• Backup Functionality:
  Automatically creates a .bak backup of your original file before applying changes, allowing you to revert changes if you change your mind.
