JPG to ICO

Wrap a JPEG in an ICO for a favicon or a shortcut. The icon holds one PNG.

JPG to ICO

ICO

Any supported image is accepted. ICO is selected. The icon contains one PNG of the picture.

    Files stay on this device. PDF to Word is not offered. Audio and video are not converted: ffmpeg.wasm was left out because it is large and unreliable here. GIF animation keeps the first frame. Spreadsheet formulas become values.

    JPG to ICO builds a Windows icon from a photograph or a logo that arrived as JPEG. The page draws the JPEG, writes a PNG, and stores that PNG inside an ICO. Current Windows and current browsers accept a PNG inside an ICO. Very old Windows wanted a BMP icon, and this page does not write that older icon. A square picture looks right. A wide picture is not cropped into a square. Drop a PNG instead and ICO stays selected.

    The drop zone reads the file in this tab. Images can become JPG, PNG, WEBP, a single-frame GIF, BMP, ICO, or AVIF when the browser can encode AVIF. HEIC and HEIF are decoded with heic2any, and that library is fetched only after a HEIC file is dropped. SVG is rasterised from its width or viewBox. A baseline TIFF (uncompressed or PackBits, 8-bit strips) is decoded in the tab. JPEG-compressed and LZW TIFF files are not, and a photo is not traced into SVG. Several images can become one PDF, one picture per page. A PDF can become a JPG or PNG of each page, up to 20 pages. Tables move between CSV, TSV, JSON, a simple row-shaped XML, XLSX, and older XLS. Text moves between TXT, a small Markdown subset, and HTML. DOCX becomes HTML or plain text with Mammoth, which keeps headings and paragraphs and drops text boxes and tracked changes.

    This is not a universal office suite. PDF to Word is not offered: a browser cannot rebuild an editable document with the original styles, and a picture of a page is not that document. Audio and video, including MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, and FLAC, are not converted. ffmpeg.wasm is about 30 MB and was too heavy and unreliable to ship here, so there is no MP4 to MP3 page and no MOV to MP4 page. Animated GIFs keep the first frame. Spreadsheet formulas become values. Passworded PDFs stay locked. Nothing is uploaded. For a JPG or PNG that only needs to become a PDF, JPG to PDF is the narrower tool. To shrink a photo toward a kilobyte target, use compress image. To shrink a PDF by redrawing pages, use compress PDF.

    Questions people actually ask

    Does JPG to ICO upload the file?

    No. The conversion runs in the browser. Close the tab and the only copy left is the one you downloaded.

    Will the result match the original exactly?

    The icon is one PNG of the picture you supplied, in an ICO wrapper. It is not a multi-resolution set.

    Can I convert several files at once?

    Yes. Add them together. Images going to PDF become one PDF, one picture per page. Other batches download as a ZIP.

    What will this page not do?

    It will not build a classic BMP-only icon for Windows XP-era desktops, and it will not invent a transparent background the JPEG did not have.
