How to convert a square SVG to all-size ICO?

Question

I've drawn an icon in InkScape and would like to export it to an ICO file that would include sprites for all the reasonable resolutions (16x16, 32x32, ... 256x256 etc). How can this be done (without using huge and expensive software like Photoshop, CorelDraw etc)?

Answer 1

Well, Photoshop and Coreldraw are the only answers. That's why they are "Industry Standard" applications. That's why graphic designers (like myself) use these programs.

As for "expensive" ... Adobe has really good pricing especially for students. Even if you're not a student, Photoshop and Lightroom are just $9.99/month. If you have financial difficulty, Adobe can waive your payments for two months until you get back on track.

CorelDraw has a lifetime license if you want to go on that route. Sadly I don't know much about the Corel end though.
