Tools for processing .ICO
files used by DWIN displays.
The DWIN LCDs that come with the Creality Ender 3 v2 and other 3D printers contain image and container files stored on them which are used to draw various the UI elements.
Standard .JPG
files can be installed for things like the boot screen, and .ICO
files can contain several images within a structured file format.
Each JPEG and ICO file starts with a number that tells DWIN which bank it should be stored in. Each numbered bank is 32K in size, so a single JPEG or ICO file can be up to 32kB before it starts to overwrite the next bank. For example, if the file loaded into bank 0 is over 32K, the next file should be numbered “2” so it loads into bank 2. The limit to the total size of all files installed on the display is usually 512KB, corresponding to 16 banks. All JPEG images, ICO containers, and fonts must fit into this space, so you may need to apply a lot of JPEG compression.
This folder includes two useful scripts, one to convert JPEG images into ICO files and another to extract JPEGs from ICO files.
The splitIco.py
script reads an ICO file and extracts the component JPEG images, saving them in a new folder. Each icon is named by its index in the ICO, also using symbol names from Marlin’s dwin.h
header file for the display.
The makeIco.py
script reads all the images in a folder and combines them into a single .ICO
file.
These tools are written in Python 3 using the Pillow image library.

These tools must be run from a terminal with access to an installed Python 3 and the Pillow image library.
Pillow is most easily installed with pip:
python3 -m pip install pillow
These tools process an .ICO
file that you specify. The safest method is to create a folder and copy your .ICO
file there. For example:
$ mkdir hackicons
$ cp 9.ICO hackicons
$ cd hackicons
The following explanations will refer back to this layout.
splitIco.py
- Split the ICO archiveIf you want to edit the individual icons stored in an ICO file (or add more images) you’ll first need to extract all the images from the archive using splitIco.py
.
Usage: splitIco.py #.ICO foldername
.
Example:
In this example we’re extracting the constituent JPEG files from 9.ICO
and storing them in a folder named icons
. As each file is extracted the script reports its index number, byte offset, size, dimensions, and filename:
$ cd buildroot/share/dwin
$ ./bin/splitIco.py 9.ICO icons-9
Splitting 9.ICO into dir icons

Wrote 3465 bytes to icons/091-ICON_Info_1.jpg
Once the individual JPEG files have been saved they can be edited using common graphics applications like Photoshop. JPEG files are inherently lossy and will usually contain ugly artifacts, so cleanup may be needed before they are re-exported. Keep the limits of bank size in mind when exporting images and try to find the best balance between compressed size and image quality.
makeIco.py
- Combine JPEGs into ICO
archiveAfter editing images you’ll create a new 9.ICO
archive with makeIco.py
like so:
$ cd buildroot/share/dwin
$ ./bin/makeIco.py icons-3 3.ICO
Making .ico file '3.ICO' from contents of 'icons-3'
Scanning icon directory icons-3
...Scanned 16 icon files
Scanning done. 16 icons included.
