What changes in this conversion
- Metadata is dropped. EXIF data — including GPS coordinates, camera model and timestamps — does not survive the canvas. That is a useful privacy side effect before sharing photos.
About ICO
ICO is a container holding several icon sizes in one file. It exists almost entirely for Windows applications and legacy favicons.
About PNG
PNG is a lossless raster format with full alpha transparency. It is the right choice for screenshots, logos, icons and line art, and a poor one for photographs, where it produces files several times larger than JPEG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert ICO to PNG?
Drop the file on the converter above, adjust the quality or size if you want, and download the result. No account, no email, no upload.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read with the browser's FileReader API, drawn to a canvas and re-encoded locally. You can disconnect from the network after the page loads and the converter still works.
Is there a file size limit?
Only your device's memory. There is no server-side cap, no queue and no daily limit. Very large images — beyond roughly 50 megapixels — may fail on mobile browsers, which limit canvas dimensions.
Will the quality drop?
PNG is lossless, so nothing is lost in this step — although detail already discarded by ICO cannot be recovered.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like and use "Download all". Each file is converted independently in your browser.
Is there a watermark?
No. The output is exactly the converted image, nothing added.
