About This Tool

Converts a PNG input into a Windows ICO file containing multiple embedded images. The tool decodes PNG, resizes to specified sizes, and packages them in a single ICO. It preserves alpha transparency and selects appropriate depth per entry. This supports developers, UI designers, and product teams requiring consistent icons across platforms. The result is a single, distributable ICO suitable for installers, software apps, and website favicons. The workflow is conceptually centered on preserving visual fidelity while conforming to ICO standards.
Users provide a PNG input and specify or accept a default set of icon sizes; the tool outputs an ICO that can serve multiple Windows requirements and favicon scenarios. The unique value lies in automatic multi-size embedding within one file, reducing asset management overhead and ensuring consistency across deployment targets.

How to Use

  1. Upload a PNG file and (optional) specify target sizes.
  2. Choose color depth if needed and any custom sizes.
  3. Run conversion to generate a single ICO with embedded images.
  4. Download the ICO file and inspect embedded sizes.
  5. Use the ICO in Windows apps, installers, or favicons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What inputs are supported?
The tool accepts a single PNG image as input. PNGs with transparency are preserved; other formats are not directly supported for conversion in a single step.
Can I customize the icon sizes?
Yes. You can specify a custom list of target sizes. If omitted, a default set such as [16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256] is used to cover common Windows and web use cases.
Does the ICO preserve transparency?
Yes. If the PNG contains an alpha channel, the ICO uses 32-bit depth to preserve transparency in each embedded image.
Where is the ICO used?
ICO files are used for Windows icons in applications, installers, and shortcut assets, as well as favicons for websites and software distribution pages.
