How to Convert JPG to ICO

Which Favicon Sizes Should You Use?

16×16 and 32×32 are common favicon sizes. 48×48 is useful for Windows icons, while larger sizes such as 128×128 and 256×256 may be useful for high-resolution uses. This generator packs all selected sizes into one ICO container.

JPG vs ICO: Quality and Transparency

JPG cannot store transparency. An ICO created from a JPG therefore starts with opaque pixels, although fitting a rectangular photo onto a square color background is supported. Tiny favicons simplify fine details, so bold logos are often clearer than detailed photographs.

JPG to ICO FAQs

Is this a real ICO file or a renamed JPG?

It is a real ICO container with the selected square-resolution images stored as PNG-encoded entries.

Can one ICO file hold multiple sizes?

Yes, select multiple size checkboxes before conversion.

Can converting JPG create a transparent favicon?

Upload favicon.ico to your site's public root, then reference it from the page head using a shortcut icon link if needed.
