PNG and ICO: what changes
A PNG logo has to become an ICO file before it can be used as a website favicon or a Windows icon.
PNG Portable Network Graphics
PNG stores every pixel exactly, with no loss, and supports transparent backgrounds. Files are larger than JPG for photos but stay perfectly sharp for text, logos and screenshots.
ICO Windows icon
ICO is the icon format of Windows and of website favicons, the small picture in a browser tab. Icons are square and at most 256 pixels wide.
Good to know before you convert
- Both formats store pixels without loss, so the picture looks exactly the same after converting.
- Transparent backgrounds are kept, because both PNG and ICO support them.
- Icons are square and at most 256 pixels wide. Larger or non-square pictures are scaled down and centred on a transparent square.
Questions and answers
Is a transparent background kept?
Yes. Both formats support transparency.
What size is the icon?
Up to 256 × 256 pixels, which browsers and Windows scale down as needed. Start from a square image for the best result.
Will the ICO look different from the PNG?
No. The conversion is lossless, so the picture is identical.
Can I convert several PNG files at once?
Yes. Add them together. One result downloads directly; several are packed into a ZIP.
