Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use JPG or PNG as the source for ICO?

PNG is better as a source because it supports transparency, which many icons need. However, you can use JPG if your icon doesn't require transparent background.

What JPG size is best for creating ICO files?

Use a square JPG at least 256x256 pixels. The converter will scale it down to common icon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, etc.) and package them all in one ICO file.

Can ICO files work as website favicons?

Yes! ICO is the traditional favicon format with excellent browser support. While modern browsers also support PNG, ICO format ensures compatibility with older browsers.

Will my JPG lose quality in small icon sizes?

Small icons (16x16, 32x32) naturally have less detail due to limited pixels. Start with a simple, clear design in your JPG for best results at small sizes.
