Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert JPG to ICO?
Websites use an ICO file for the favicon in the browser tab, and Windows uses ICO files for app icons. This tool builds one from your JPG.
Will the icon have a transparent background?
No. A JPG has no transparency, so the icon shows the full photo. For a transparent icon, start from a PNG instead.
What size will the icon be?
The image is kept up to 256 by 256 pixels. Anything larger is scaled down to fit, which is the maximum an ICO supports.
Should I use a square image?
Yes. Icons are square, so a square JPG gives the best result.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your computer and the tool works offline.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes, in any modern browser, with nothing to install.
