What to expect

  • The icon holds several sizes (16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels by default) so it looks sharp everywhere; non-square images are centred on a transparent square.
  • Transparent areas stay transparent.
  • Camera details and location (EXIF) are not carried over; photos are turned upright first.

Limits

Free: files up to 15 MB and 3 conversions per 24 hours. Pro: files up to 500 MB and no daily limit. Pricing

About PNG and ICO

PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, while photos saved as PNG get large.
ICO
ICO is the Windows icon format, also used for website favicons. One ICO file can hold the same icon in several sizes.
