Frequently asked questions
How do I convert JPG to ICO?
Choose a JPG image, open the editor, create the ICO output, and download the icon.
What sizes does the ICO file include?
The generated ICO bundles 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48px versions of your image in one file.
Does JPG's lack of transparency cause problems?
A JPG source has no transparent pixels to begin with, so the icon renders with a solid background at every size.
Should I use the favicon generator instead?
Use JPG to ICO for one ICO file. Use the favicon generator when you need a broader favicon package with HTML and a web manifest.
Are my files uploaded?
Processing runs in your browser, so the source image stays on your device. No sign-up is needed.
