Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert ICO to BMP?

ICO (Windows Icon) uses lossless (multiple sizes) encoding and is best for favicons and app icons — standard format for website bookmarks and Windows application icons. BMP (Bitmap Image File) uses uncompressed encoding and excels at legacy software compatibility, raw pixel data transfers, and simple image processing tasks. Converting between them lets you take advantage of each format's strengths — for example, using a compressed format for sharing and a lossless format for editing. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.

Why does ICO to BMP fail here?

Canvas cannot encode BMP, so the run ends in Conversion failed with no file written. Convert ICO to PNG, JPG, or WebP for a working download.

Does BMP keep ICO quality?

Moot — no BMP is emitted from ICO input. Convert ICO to PNG for exact pixels instead.

What should I convert ICO to instead of BMP?

For ICO sources: PNG for exact pixels, JPG for photos at fixed 0.92, or WebP at 0.85 — every one encodes locally with unlimited saves.

Do ICO files upload when targeting BMP?

No — the attempt runs locally in your browser and fails before any save. Local-tool downloads stay unlimited.
