JPG to ICO Converter

Instant JPG to Icon Conversion

Our JPG to ICO Converter provides a secure and efficient way to transform standard JPEG photographs into icon format. Unlike general image converters, this tool allows you to select specific dimensions (from 16x16 up to 64x64 pixels) required for Windows OS, software development, and website favicons.

We prioritize your privacy by utilizing client-side processing. This means your images are converted locally within your web browser using JavaScript, rather than being uploaded to a remote server. You can generate unlimited icons without worrying about data tracking or file storage limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you convert JPG to ICO?

Yes. This tool automates the process entirely. Upload your JPG, select the dimensions you need (e.g., 16x16 or 32x32), and the browser will resize the image and package it into an ICO-compatible download immediately.

How to convert JPG to ICO in Photoshop?

Adobe Photoshop does not support ICO export natively without third-party plugins. Our free web tool eliminates this complexity, allowing you to create icons in seconds without purchasing expensive software or installing plugins.

How do I change something to an ICO file?

Simply drag and drop your image file into the upload box above. The converter handles the aspect ratio scaling automatically to ensure your image fits within the square dimensions required for icons.

What size should ICO files be?

It depends on the use case. 16x16 is standard for browser favicons. 32x32 is used for desktop shortcuts and taskbar icons. 48x48 and 64x64 are preferred for high-resolution displays or desktop folder icons. You can select all relevant sizes in our tool.

Is ICO better than PNG?

For Windows system icons and legacy software, ICO is superior because it is a container format that allows multiple sizes to exist in a single file. For general web usage, PNG is often preferred for its smaller file size, though ICO remains the standard for the favicon.ico file.
