Additionally, you can export cursors from CUR files. All selected icons are highlighted in the preview with a dashed line and they also instantly appear in the output preview field as PNG images. For example, you can enter numbers "1, 2, 5" and that will extract icons one, two, and five. You can also specify the icon positions that you want to extract in the options. To select an icon, click on it in the preview area to deselect an icon, click on it again. You can convert all icons to PNGs at once, or selectively select one or more icons to be converted. The information includes the dimensions of the icons and their actual data type (usually, this it's BMP or PNG). In the options, you can find the information about each icon that's found in the ICO file. Now, when you go to Save As, the option to save as an ICO file is available to you. In order for the icon options to appear, your file must be an 8bit file (Image > Mode), which is no larger than 256×256. Remember that it will only show up in the Save As menu if it is 256x256 and smaller. The next time you restart Photoshop, if your file meets the requirements, you’ll be able to save as an icon file.

Creat a new folder named File Formats place the file ICOFormat.8bi into that folder then restart Photoshop CC. An ICO file is an image file format that usually contains several smaller images of different dimensions that are used as favicons on web pages and represent Windows (and also OSX/MacOS) programs, files, and folders. This browser-based program extracts icons from an ICO file and saves them as PNG format images.
