Frequently Asked Questions
An ICO file is an image file format specifically designed for Microsoft Windows icons. It is unique because it acts as an image container that can bundle multiple sub-icons of different resolutions, color depths, and transparency options into a single file.
Windows displays icons in various sizes depending on the context: 16x16 or 24x24 pixels for small lists and system trays, 32x32 or 48x48 for desktop shortcuts, and 256x256 for large list formats or high-DPI scaling configurations. Including multiple resolutions ensures Windows renders icons crisply without blurry resizing.
Yes. Standard transparency (alpha channels) from PNG, WebP, AVIF, or vector SVG files is preserved. The tool uses 32-bit RGBA parameters in the ICO compiler to maintain transparent borders and shapes.
Yes! Upload an existing .ico file, and the tool will automatically decode it, display every sub-icon resolution in a list, and let you download them as individual PNG files or download them all together in a single ZIP file.
No. Privacy is guaranteed. All image parsing, scaling, ICO compiling, and extraction happen entirely client-side in your web browser using Web Workers and Canvas APIs. Your files are never uploaded to any remote server.
