Is there a program like ICONMASCHINE?

I'm kind of late to the party! I was using ICON MASCHINE to make custom images for my Maschine library, but i can't go past 3 custom images. I love the ease of just uploading an image and everything like that. The problem is it seems as if you can't go pass 4 images in free use mode, but no where to update to the pro version, and it looks like it hasn't been update since 2020. What programs are yall using , if anyone is still adding images to there Maschine?
Thanks for any info.

I am not aware of any other app to do that, kind of strange that no one bothered to make one since it sounds like something rather simple.
I just do it manually by copying a folder and editing all the pics and text.

@D-One Yes i don't know why anyone hasn't . it's a super eazy program to use withouthaving to do all the copy and paste and getting the size perfect and all that just to fit on the maschine. I'm really suprised that NI hasn't buitl one to be honest! They would be able to make it pop since they use something like that anyway! it would go over like gang busters! So you were saying that you just copy a folder, i'm not too sure how that works. is there a tutorial online that you can point me to?
Thanks again for all the help
PEACE

Looks very similar to how we make images for Komplete Kontrol NKS plugins
If you want to make your own thumbnails they should conform to the following specs
MST_artwork.png - 134x66
MST_plugin.png - 165x100
VB_artwork.png - 96x47
OSO_logo.png - 417x65
VB_logo.png - 279x47
MST_logo.png - 240x196
all 72pix dpi
.meta files and .json files can just be copied from an existing folder and edited in a text editor (use a proper one, not something like Mac Textedit that messes with syntax)
.meta file syntax looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<resource version="1.0.0.0">
<vendor>Synthmaker</vendor>
<name>Synthname</name>
<type>image</type>
</resource>

Just duplicate the folder of something you are already done with iconmaschine and use it as a template of sorts, change the folder name, edit the images and .meta file. All can be done with native OS tools if on mac, except editing the text (for that I use Atom) as Kymeia said.

Cool i'm on a PC, so if i can't edit the text(whihc might be able to do on note pad, not sure) just being able to have the custom images is ggo enough for me.
thanks again for all the help.

No problem. Without editing the text the images won't work, it holds important info.
Note Pad might work, no guarantee, if you use it avoid things like the tab key and such, if it does not then there's tons of propper free text editors for windows.
