Click the folder icon to the right of the field. Browse to and select the EXE file. The location will vary by app, but you’ll usually find EXE files in your main drive under Program Files or Program Files (x86). Click Open.
Once the EXE file has loaded in GConvert, you can click the red circle in the top-right corner of the GConvert window to close it. Your EXE file should now have a different icon. It may take a few minutes for your EXE file’s icon to change.
If you don’t want to download an app to change your icons, you can create a shortcut to the original EXE and easily change its icon instead. This allows you to keep the EXE file tucked away in a folder while you use the shortcut to open the program.
The location will vary by app, but you’ll usually find EXE files in your main drive under Program Files or Program Files (x86).
If you’re using Windows 10, you’ll see a small arrow on the shortcut indicating that this is a shortcut and not the actual EXE file. Windows 11 users won’t see this arrow. If the Windows 10 shortcut arrow bothers you, you can remove the arrow in your registry. You can now drag the shortcut to the desired location, such as your taskbar or another area of your desktop. You can also rename the icon by right-clicking it and selecting Rename. On Windows 11, this is the icon with the cursor at the top of the right-click context menu. Once you’ve created a shortcut to the EXE file, you cannot move the original EXE file as doing so will break the shortcut.
