THREE SMALL STEPS

How to convert an ICO file to JPG

  1. 01

    Open the ICO file

    Drop or choose a .ico file, such as a favicon or a Windows application icon, up to 5 MB.

  2. 02

    Pick a background

    JPG cannot store transparency, so choose the color that fills the transparent areas, then set the JPG quality.

  3. 03

    Save the sizes you need

    Every size inside the icon is shown, often from 16 × 16 to 256 × 256 pixels. Download one JPG or all of them in a ZIP.

BEFORE YOU START

Good to know

One icon, several images

An ICO file usually stores the same icon at several sizes, so that Windows and browsers can pick the sharpest one.

Old and new icon formats

Bitmap images from classic Windows icons and PNG images from modern icons are both read, in colors from 1-bit to 32-bit.

Small icons stay small

Each JPG keeps the original pixel size of its image. Enlarging a 16 × 16 icon would only make it blurry.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can one ICO file contain several image sizes?

Yes. An ICO can contain several icon images at different sizes. This tool lists the supported images so you can select the one you need and save it as JPG. Choose a background because JPG does not preserve transparency.

Why do the transparent parts of my icon turn white?

JPG cannot store transparency. Choose another background color, or download the PNG version, which keeps transparent areas.

Can I convert a .cur cursor file?

No. Cursor files use a similar format, but this tool only opens ICO icons.

Which size inside the icon should I use?

Use the largest image for documents and presentations. Sizes of 32 × 32 pixels and below are designed for browser tabs and file lists.
