What changes when you convert WebP to ICO

The converter generates standard icon sizes (16, 32, 48, 256) by downscaling the WebP. Quality at small sizes depends on the source resolution; start with at least 256×256 for good results at every size.

When to use this conversion

  • Building a favicon from a WebP logo or brand asset
  • Creating Windows shortcut icons from WebP design files
  • Generating application icons for Windows installers and executables
  • Producing multi-resolution icons for Electron or cross-platform desktop apps

Where the output plays

ICO is handled by every browser (for favicons), every Windows version, and every icon-aware tool. It's the native Windows icon format.

About these formats

WebP

WebP is Google's 2010 image format based on the VP8 video codec. It offers lossy and lossless modes, full alpha transparency, and animation in a single container. At matched quality it's typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG. Every major browser has supported it since 2020.

ICO (Windows Icon)

ICO is the Windows icon format. A single .ico file can hold multiple resolutions (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 256×256) and color depths simultaneously, letting the OS pick the best for context. Every browser serves favicons as ICO, and Windows desktop icons use it natively.

How It Works

Are my files private?

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
