    Hi,
    You can use a program such as Gimp or photoshop to change them to .ico or if you want just post them here and I will do it.

    Could you please specify what the icon size is and what you want to convert it to? And would you be able to upload the icon?

    This software works pretty good at making 256x256 icons,
