Frequently asked questions
About PNG to ICO
PNG to ICO creates an icon file from a PNG image. It is mainly used for favicons, desktop shortcuts, app icons, and older systems that specifically require .ico. A good ICO starts with a simple square PNG that still reads clearly at tiny sizes. Detailed photos rarely make good icons. Use a logo mark, letter, symbol, or simplified graphic. Transparent PNG backgrounds can work well, but thin lines and small text may disappear at 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. After conversion, preview the icon small. If it only looks good large, simplify the source PNG before making the ICO.
Updated June 2026: Added favicon-focused guidance for PNG to ICO conversion, icon sizes, transparency, browser tabs, and Windows shortcuts.
