About This Tool

Look, if you’ve ever needed to turn an image into an ICO file—like, for a favicon or a desktop icon—you know how annoying it can be to find something that actually works without signing up, installing bloatware, or getting hit with ads every two seconds. That’s where this converter comes in. It’s simple, fast, and doesn’t ask for your email or try to sell you a “premium upgrade” just to get a decent file.

I built this because I got tired of jumping through hoops every time I needed a quick ICO. No fluff, no nonsense. Just drag, drop, convert, and go. Works right in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded to some sketchy server. Your image stays on your machine the whole time.

Key Features

  • No uploads—everything happens locally in your browser
  • Supports PNG, JPG, and BMP inputs
  • Generates standard ICO files with multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64)
  • No registration, no tracking, no pop-ups
  • Works offline once the page loads (great for privacy)
  • Free. Like, actually free.

FAQ

Wait, why would I even need an ICO file?
Mostly for favicons (those tiny icons in browser tabs) or custom desktop icons. Windows still uses ICO format for icons, and while some sites accept PNG now, a lot of older systems or specific apps still expect ICO. So if you're making a website or a program, you might need one.

Is it safe? I don’t want my image floating around the internet.
Totally safe. The conversion runs entirely in your browser—nothing gets sent to a server. Close the tab, and it’s like it never happened. No logs, no backups, no “anonymous usage data” nonsense. Your file never leaves your computer.
