Question 1

How do I convert a JPG to ICO?

Accepted Answer

Upload your JPG image using the converter above, choose your desired icon sizes, and click Convert to ICO. The tool creates an ICO file containing all selected sizes — perfect for website favicons. Download and use it as your favicon.ico.

Question 2

What size should a favicon ICO file be?

Accepted Answer

A standard favicon.ico should include multiple sizes: 16x16 (browser tabs), 32x32 (taskbar/bookmark), 48x48 (Windows Start menu), and optionally 64x64 or 128x128. Our converter can generate the correct sizes — browsers select the appropriate one automatically.

Question 3

Can I convert a JPG to an icon for Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our JPG to ICO converter creates ICO files that work as Windows application icons. Select sizes relevant to Windows (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256) for the best results. Windows uses different sizes in different contexts.

Question 4

What is the difference between ICO and JPG?

Accepted Answer

ICO is a container format specifically for icons — it can store multiple image sizes in one file, supports transparency, and is used for application icons and browser favicons. JPG is a photographic image format. ICO files are typically small (16px to 256px).

Question 5

Can I use a PNG as a favicon instead of ICO?

Accepted Answer

Modern browsers support PNG favicons via the HTML link tag. However, ICO files have broader legacy support — older browsers and Windows always recognize favicon.ico. For maximum compatibility, use both.
