About ICO to JPG
Where ICO files come from
ICO files are Windows icons and website favicons, sometimes the only copy of a logo. Forms, documents, and older apps that want a JPG can't open them.
What changes
- The icon's largest size becomes the JPG; smaller sizes are skipped.
- Transparent areas are filled with your chosen colour.
- JPG compresses with loss; on small, sharp icons, edges can blur slightly. Best keeps them crisper.
- Old icons' masks are honoured, so their outline is right on the new background.
Measured
Our test icon (a 5 KB ICO with 16, 32, 48, and 256 pixel sizes), saved at High on white in Chrome on a laptop. Phone timings are still to be measured.
| ICO file | 5 KB |
|---|---|
| JPG file (256 by 256) | 5 KB |
| Time in Chrome (laptop) | 0.2 seconds |
In your browser
The icon file is read in plain JavaScript, the same in every browser; the largest size is decoded by the browser or, for old-style bitmaps, by our own code. Every browser writes JPG itself, so nothing extra is downloaded.
Limits
- Only the largest size is converted.
- CUR cursor files and Mac ICNS icons aren't supported.
Other options
- ICO to PNG: keep transparency, and get every size.
- Resize image: change the JPG's pixel size afterwards.
- JPG to ICO: the reverse, to make an icon from a photo or logo.
Questions
Which size of the icon do I get?
The largest one inside the file, often 256 by 256 pixels for modern icons and 32 or 48 for old ones. ICO to PNG can give every size.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.
What happens to the transparent parts?
JPG has no transparency, so they are filled with the colour you choose, white by default. Pick a colour that matches where the picture is going.
Can I make the JPG bigger than the icon?
Not here. An icon is only as detailed as its largest size, and enlarging it would just blur it. Use Resize image if you need a bigger file anyway.
Does it work with old Windows icons?
Yes, whether each size is stored as a PNG or as an old-style bitmap.
