ICO basics

What Is an ICO File?

The ICO file format was introduced by Microsoft. It is used for Windows application icons, desktop shortcuts, file association icons, website favicons, and similar purposes.

A single ICO file can contain multiple images with different dimensions and color depths, including 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, and 256×256 pixels.

Modern ICO files support up to 32-bit RGBA color depth (24-bit true color plus an 8-bit alpha transparency channel), enabling rich colors, smooth edges, and transparent backgrounds. ICO files are widely used for Windows application icons, website favicons, and other desktop icons.

ICO files can be edited with compatible image-editing software, plugins, and online conversion tools.

FAQ

ICO to SVG Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ICO file?

ICO is a bitmap container format primarily used for Windows application icons and website favicons. A single ICO file can store images in multiple sizes and color depths, allowing the system to select the best version for each display context.

Can ICO files be converted to SVG?

Yes. The conversion process analyzes the pixels, colors, and outlines in the ICO file and traces them into SVG paths. Simple graphics with clear edges generally produce the best vector results.

What is the difference between ICO and PNG?
