Irfanview is one of the better freeware converters.

Yves,

Do yourself a favour, BUY IconWorkshop, its a magic tool that took a lot of hassle out of icons, toolbar bitmaps and any other small image I need to work on. You normally convert PNG to RGB/alpha when working with Windows API code.

I agree, IconWorkshop is worth the money.  There is a freebie called IconFX but it doesn't do near what IconWorkshop does.

ToutEnMasm, is this what you are talking about?  Windows Vista 256x256 PNG Compressed Icons

reduce the color depth   :P
for a 32x32 icon, 256 colors is quite adequate
you only have 1024 pixels total   :bg

I have reduce the color depth   to 256 colors with irfanview and all is OK
