RealWorld Icon Editor is a software application combining functionality of an icon editor with a simple 3D graphics editor.

The current version of the application supports Mac icons (.icns) and Windows icons (.ico), including PNG-compressed icons used by Windows Vista.

The main advantages of this editor are the ability to create an icon with 3D look and feel without any external program, the sophisticated image-to-icon conversion with per-image settings, and a customizable GUI. The criticized non-intuitive user interface when positioning 3D object or camera in space was improved in version 2006.2.
