Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ICO file?
ICO is the image file format used for icons in Microsoft Windows. It's commonly used for website favicons (the small icon displayed in browser tabs). ICO files can contain multiple image layers at different resolutions, and this tool extracts the highest quality layer as a PNG image.
Can I extract all layers from an ICO file?
This browser-based tool extracts the primary (usually largest and highest quality) layer from ICO files. While ICO files can contain multiple resolutions (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, etc.), browsers typically render the best available version, which is what this converter extracts.
Is transparency preserved in PNG output?
Yes! PNG format fully supports transparency, and this converter preserves all alpha channel information from your ICO files. The extracted PNG will maintain the same transparency data as the original icon, making it perfect for use in design projects or as favicon source files.
Why convert ICO to PNG?
PNG is a more universal format supported by all image editors and platforms. Converting ICO to PNG allows you to edit favicon graphics in standard design software, use them in presentations, or share them across different platforms where ICO format may not be supported.
