Why Convert ICO to PNG Format?

ICO files are designed specifically for Windows icons and favicons, but PNG format offers universal compatibility for web and design work. Converting ICO to PNG lets you:

  • Extract individual icon sizes for use in web design, presentations, or documentation.
  • Edit icons in any image editor like Photoshop, GIMP, or Canva that may not support ICO files.
  • Recover favicon artwork from websites when you've lost the original source files.
  • Analyze competitor branding by extracting their favicon graphics at full resolution.
  • Create social media assets or app store icons from existing favicon designs.

What is an ICO file?

ICO (Icon) is a file format used for icons in Windows and website favicons. Unlike regular images, ICO files can contain multiple image sizes (16x16 to 256x256 pixels) in a single file. Our converter extracts all sizes as separate PNG files.

What is a PNG file?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely-supported image format known for lossless compression and transparency support. It's ideal for web graphics, logos, and any image requiring a transparent background.

Why convert ICO to PNG?

Converting ICO to PNG gives you editable, universally-compatible images. PNG files work in all image editors, web browsers, and design software. They're perfect for reusing favicon graphics in web design, social media, or print materials.

Will I get multiple PNG files from one ICO?

Yes! ICO files typically contain multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256, etc.). Our converter extracts each size as a separate PNG file, giving you all available resolutions from the original icon.

Can I convert multiple ICO files at once?

Yes, batch conversion is supported. Upload up to 20 ICO files simultaneously and convert them all to PNG format in one operation.

Can I convert a website's favicon to PNG?

Absolutely! Use the "Convert from URL" feature to paste any favicon URL (usually at domain.com/favicon.ico) and extract all icon sizes as PNG files. This is great for analyzing competitor favicons or recovering lost icon artwork.

Is transparency preserved during conversion?

Yes, all transparency from your ICO file is fully preserved in the PNG output. Your converted images will have the same transparent areas as the original icon.

How can I verify my ICO file before converting?

Use our Icon Analyzer to inspect your ICO file's contents, including all embedded sizes, color depths, and compression details before conversion.

What if the conversion doesn't work?

Ensure your ICO file is valid and not corrupted. You can verify it with our Icon Analyzer. If issues persist, try a different browser or contact our support team.
