It depends on the icon type. Fvwm only supports .xpm, .png, and .svg
images. Both .xpm and .png  images cannot be resized by fvwm (since
the libraries fvwm uses don't support this). If you want to resize
either of these icon types you have to use some third party tool.
Imagemagick is one such tool that you can use to automate resizing if
you want to write custom functions.

If you use .svg, these can be scaled by the library and fvwm supports
setting the size of these icons (check the man page for details). So
if you want to have fvwm resize icons for you, use .svg icons.
