What is ICO to PNG?

ICO is the Windows icon container format, also used for website favicons. It can hold several sizes in one file, but most image editors and design tools prefer a plain PNG. Converting ICO to PNG gives you an editable, universally supported image with transparency preserved.

The browser decodes the ICO (typically rendering its largest embedded size) and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG. This is ideal for grabbing a site's favicon, editing an existing icon, or dropping the graphic into a design tool.

FAQ

Which size is exported if the ICO contains several?
The browser typically renders the largest embedded image in the ICO, so you get the highest-resolution version available as a PNG.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so the icon's transparent background is kept in the PNG output.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The ICO is decoded and converted entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
