Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert PNG to ICO?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless encoding and is best for graphics with sharp edges, text overlays, screenshots, and images requiring transparent backgrounds. ICO (Windows Icon) uses lossless (multiple sizes) encoding and excels at favicons and app icons — standard format for website bookmarks and Windows application icons. 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 PNG to ICO fail here?
Canvas cannot encode ICO, so the run ends in Conversion failed with no file written. Convert PNG to PNG, JPG, or WebP for a working download.
Which icon sizes ship from PNG?
Moot — no ICO is emitted from PNG input, so no size set builds. Convert PNG to PNG for icons and favicons instead.
What should I convert PNG to instead of ICO?
For PNG 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 PNG files upload when targeting ICO?
No — the attempt runs locally in your browser and fails before any save. Local-tool downloads stay unlimited.
