Dmitry Kozhinov

Dmitry Kozhinov is a niche Windows software publisher whose entire catalog revolves around IconEdit2, a lightweight yet full-featured icon editor that has quietly gathered awards and a loyal following among graphic designers, UI prototypers, indie game developers, and anyone who needs pixel-perfect control over small-form imagery. The program opens virtually every icon and cursor format—from classic .ico and .cur to modern PNG-compressed Vista icons and high-DPI 1024×1024 assets—then lets users paint, gradient-fill, drop-shadow, anti-alias, or batch-convert entire libraries with a few clicks. Typical workflows include sprucing up open-source projects with consistent glyphs, building toolbar sets for internal utilities, extracting embedded icons from DLL or EXE files for reference, or generating multi-resolution favicons that scale cleanly from browser tabs to Windows shortcuts. A built-in screen-capture tool grabs any on-screen element and immediately converts it to an icon layer, while Photoshop-style layers and history undo encourage experimentation without fear of overwriting master files. Despite its modest footprint, the editor supports color depths up to 32-bit with alpha channel, grid snapping, gradient shapes, and plug-in effects that rival bulkier creative suites. Dmitry Kozhinov’s singular focus on this one utility has kept the interface uncluttered and updates frequent, ensuring compatibility with the latest Windows display standards. IconEdit2 is available for free on get.nero.com, delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest release and allowing batch installation alongside other applications.
