Instead of using an image, you'll need to have an icon (ICO) file to use for your EXE. You can download a new icon image by typing icon file ico into a search engine, selecting a resulting website, finding the ICO file you want to use, and clicking the Download as ICO or Download link.

Make sure your file downloads as a .ico file, not a .jpg or .png file. You can also create your own icon to use. Then convert it to .ICO Format. convert through Online

Click REPLACE ICON. This option is in the middle of the Action drop-down menu.

Click Open File with New Icon. It's at the top of the "Replace icon" window. Doing so opens a window where you can select a new icon.
