ICO is the icon file format used by Microsoft Windows for favicons, application icons, and system icons. It can contain multiple image sizes and color depths in a single file, making it ideal for icons that need to display at various resolutions while maintaining quality.

Why convert WebP to ICO for favicons?

While modern browsers support WebP, ICO remains the standard for favicons due to universal browser compatibility including older browsers. ICO also supports multiple embedded sizes, ensuring your favicon looks sharp at different display resolutions from browser tabs to bookmarks.

What size should I choose for website favicons?

For website favicons, 32x32 pixels is the most common and recommended size. However, providing multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32) ensures optimal display across different browsers and devices. Some browsers use 16x16 for tabs while others prefer 32x32 for bookmarks and shortcuts.

Can I use ICO icons for Windows applications?

Yes! ICO is the native icon format for Windows applications. You can use converted ICO files for desktop shortcuts, folder icons, and application icons in Windows. For application development, consider creating multiple sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64) for different display contexts.

How do I add an ICO favicon to my website?

Place your converted favicon.ico file in the root directory of your website. Then add this line in your HTML head section: . Most browsers will automatically look for favicon.ico in the root directory even without the link tag.

Yes! All image conversion happens directly in your browser using JavaScript canvas API. Your WebP images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security. The entire conversion process takes place locally on your device.
