Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an .ico file need multiple sizes?
Browsers and operating systems use different icon sizes in different places (e.g., browser tab, desktop shortcut, taskbar). Including multiple sizes in one file allows the device to pick the best one for clarity, preventing blurry upscaling or downscaling.
What is the best size for a source PNG?
For best results, start with a square, high-resolution PNG, such as 256x256 pixels or larger. This tool will automatically resize your image to the standard smaller sizes needed for the .ico file.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes, absolutely. The transparency from your source PNG file is fully preserved in the final .ico file, making it perfect for modern web and application design.
