Why convert PNG to ICO?

For photographs it is much larger than a JPG or a WebP. As an ICO it works as a website favicon or a Windows icon.

About the formats

PNG, lossless images with transparency

PNG stores images losslessly: every pixel stays exactly the same, and it supports a transparent background.

Strengths: Great for screenshots, logos, charts and any image with text or sharp edges.

Limits: For photographs it is much larger than a JPG or a WebP.

ICO, Windows icons and favicons

ICO is the container for Windows icons and website favicons, holding several sizes in one file.

Strengths: A single ICO carries the icon at 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels so it looks sharp everywhere.

Limits: It is only meant for icons, not for large photos.

How to convert PNG to ICO

  1. 1Drop your PNG files in the box, paste them or pick them from your device.
  2. 2Check that the target is ICO and open the options if you want to adjust it.
  3. 3Press “Convert” and download each ICO, or all of them in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PNG uploaded to a server to turn it into ICO?

No. The PNG to ICO conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Is there a size limit?

Your device’s memory sets the limit: on desktop, images up to about 100 megapixels; on mobile, up to 16.7. If an image is too large you are told before it starts.

Can I convert several PNG files at once?

Yes. Drop as many PNG files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each ICO or all of them in a ZIP.
