About the ICO Format

ICO (Icon) is Microsoft's standard image format for icons in Windows. Unlike regular images, ICO files can contain multiple sizes and color depths of the same icon, allowing Windows to select the most appropriate version for different contexts.

ICO files are essential for website favicons, Windows application icons, desktop shortcuts, and system icons. Our converter creates properly structured ICO files compatible with all versions of Windows and major browsers. You can also convert from SVG to ICO or WebP to ICO with full transparency support.

Pro tip: For the best results, start with a square image at least 256x256 pixels. Use PNG format with transparency for modern, crisp icons that look great on all devices and screen densities.
