How to use the image to ico converter

  1. Choose or drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or SVG image into the converter.
  2. Select the icon dimensions to include in the ICO file. Multiple sizes can live in one icon.
  3. Wait for the browser to build the icon, then preview the source and download the .ico file.
  4. For multiple images, download each ICO or save the converted set as a ZIP.

Features

  • Creates ICO files with multiple standard icon sizes, from 16 × 16 to 256 × 256 pixels
  • Accepts common raster images and SVG vector artwork supported by your browser
  • Preserves transparency and fits non-square images inside a square canvas
  • Converts batches locally and offers individual or ZIP downloads

Create an ICO for a favicon or app icon

An ICO file can bundle several image resolutions. Browsers and operating systems can choose the size that best fits a tab, shortcut, application or Windows icon. This converter includes PNG-encoded images in the ICO container and supports sizes up to 256 × 256 pixels.

For crisp results, start with a square logo or a high-resolution source image. Non-square images are scaled proportionally and centered on a transparent square instead of being stretched.

  • 16 × 16 and 32 × 32 for small browser and interface icons
  • 48 × 48 and 64 × 64 for shortcuts and desktop use
  • 128 × 128 and 256 × 256 for high-density displays

Supported image formats and privacy

Upload PNG, JPG or JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP and SVG images that the browser can decode. Animated GIFs use the first frame; animated SVGA files are not still-image inputs. SVG files are rasterized at each selected icon size.

Image decoding, resizing and ICO creation happen on your device. Your selected files are not sent to a server, and transparent areas remain transparent in the generated icon.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert PNG to ICO online?

Yes. Add a PNG image, choose the icon sizes to include, and download a multi-size ICO file created in your browser.

Which formats can I convert to ICO?

The converter accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP and SVG when your browser can decode the image. Animated GIF input uses its first frame.
