    Image to ICO Converter FAQ

    ICO (Icon) is the standard favicon format for websites. It appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and address bars. Unlike PNG favicons, ICO files can contain multiple image sizes in one file, ensuring your icon looks sharp at any display size. Every professional website should have a favicon.ico file.

    Simply upload your PNG image to our converter, click "Generate Favicons", and download your complete favicon package. Our free tool creates a 48x48 ICO file plus all PNG sizes needed for modern browsers and devices. No registration, software, or payment required.

    For best results, upload a square image at least 48x48 pixels, ideally 256x256 or larger. The converter will resize it to create all necessary favicon sizes. Square images work best - if your logo is not square, consider adding padding or cropping it first.

    Yes! Our converter accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP images. It automatically handles transparency (PNG/WebP) or adds a white background (JPG). For logos with transparency, use PNG or WebP format for the best result.

    Upload favicon.ico to your website root folder (e.g., yoursite.com/favicon.ico). Then add this HTML to your <head> section: <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">. Most browsers will automatically find favicon.ico in the root folder even without the link tag.

    The ZIP contains: favicon.ico (48x48), favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, apple-touch-icon.png (180px for iPhone/iPad), android-chrome-192x192.png, android-chrome-512x512.png, site.webmanifest for PWA support, and favicon-html.txt with ready-to-use HTML code.

    No. All processing happens locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images never leave your device, making this the most secure way to create favicons from sensitive brand assets or unreleased logos.

    Common issues: 1) Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5), 2) Ensure favicon.ico is in root folder, 3) Check the link tag href path is correct, 4) Some hosts require specific permissions. The favicon may also take time to appear in search results as Google caches icons.

    Modern browsers support PNG favicons, but ICO has better compatibility with older browsers and Windows. ICO also allows multiple sizes in one file. For maximum compatibility, use ICO for the main favicon and optionally add PNG for Apple devices.

    You can convert images up to 50MB. However, favicons work best with simple, recognizable images. Complex photos may not look good at 16x16 pixels. For best results, use a simple logo or icon design with bold colors and minimal detail.
