Understand PNG and ICO formats

What is a PNG file?

PNG is a common image format that keeps icon edges, colors, and transparent backgrounds clear. Logos, app graphics, and illustrations with transparency are often good starting points for an ICO icon.

PNG works well on websites and in image viewers. When you need an icon for Windows, a desktop shortcut, or a traditional website favicon, you can turn that PNG into an ICO file.

What is an ICO file?

ICO is an icon file format commonly used for Windows applications, desktop shortcuts, and website icons. One ICO file can include several sizes, so the same icon can work in more than one place.

Smaller sizes are useful for browser tabs and compact interfaces, while larger sizes suit desktops, launchers, and high-resolution displays. A multi-size ICO helps the icon stay clear wherever it appears.

What you can download

One ICO with every selected size

Download a single icon file that includes all of the sizes you selected.

Individual ICO files

Keep a separate ICO file for each size when a platform needs a specific icon.

PNG previews and ZIP downloads

Review each size with its matching PNG preview, then download individual results or selected sets in a ZIP file.

Choose icon sizes with confidence

Select only the sizes your destination needs. You can create several sizes from the same PNG at once.

16, 24, 32, and 48 pixels

Useful for browser tabs, compact interfaces, and smaller app or shortcut icons.

64, 128, and 256 pixels

Useful when an icon is shown larger in Windows, launchers, or high-resolution displays.

Website favicon sets

A 16, 32, and 48 pixel set is a practical starting point for a classic favicon file.

Fit the image to a square icon

Keep the whole image

Choose this when every part of the original image should remain visible. Empty space is added around it when needed.

Fill the icon area

Choose this when you prefer the icon area to be fully filled and can accept cropped edges.
