How it works
Grab the favicon.ico from an old site or the icon files from a legacy Windows app and drop them into the converter.
Icons are usually flat artwork — a low color count of 4 to 8 gives the cleanest, most faithful vector result.
Download an SVG that covers every tab, bookmark, and home-screen size a browser might ask for.
Modernize an aging favicon.ico into an SVG favicon for current browsers.
Extract old Windows app icons as vectors for a rebranding project.
Archive legacy icon sets in a format today's design tools can open.
Format guide
ICO is a Windows container format from the 1990s that bundles several fixed-size bitmaps — typically 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 — into one file. Each embedded image is only sharp at its own size, which is why old favicons look crunchy on modern high-density displays and in large bookmark tiles.
Every current major browser accepts SVG favicons, and a single SVG covers all sizes and pixel densities at once. This converter reads the best image embedded in your ICO — browsers typically decode the largest frame available — preserves its transparency, and wraps it as a standard SVG you can reference from a single <link> tag.
Set expectations by the source: an ICO that only contains a 16×16 frame holds very little detail, so the result will look blocky if enlarged far beyond favicon size. Whenever possible, convert from the largest icon you have, and keep the original .ico around as a fallback for very old browsers.
Feature
Everything you need to turn raster images into production-ready vector files — without uploads, sign-ups, or desktop software.
Images are processed on the fly and never stored. No account, no watermarks — your files are discarded as soon as the conversion completes.
Drop up to 20 images at once and convert them in a single click. Results land in one list with per-file preview, download, and delete.
Choose Simple for lightweight previews, Standard for balanced size and detail, or High density to keep the full original resolution.
Limit the palette from 4 up to 64 colors to balance file size against fidelity — ideal for icons, illustrations, and print assets.
Download any single SVG, or grab every converted file at once as a ZIP archive when you are working through a large batch.
Convert PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, ICO, and existing SVG files. Original dimensions are detected and preserved automatically.
The output is plain SVG markup that drops straight into websites, design tools, CMS platforms, and version control.
The converter is fully responsive and keyboard accessible, so it works just as well on a laptop, tablet, or phone.
Settings stay put between runs, failed files stay in the queue for retry, and finished results accumulate until you clear them.
FAQ
The converter uses your browser's ICO decoder, which picks the best embedded frame — typically the largest one available in the file. That gives the converted SVG the most detail to work with.
