Frequently Asked Questions
Which size is extracted from the ICO file?
The converter extracts the largest available size from the ICO file, which is typically 256x256, 48x48, or 32x32 pixels depending on how the ICO was created. This gives you the best quality starting point for editing.
Can I enlarge a small favicon to a larger size?
You can extract the icon to PNG and then use an upscaler to enlarge it. However, since favicons are typically very small (16x16 or 32x32), significant enlargement may produce blurry results. For best results, find the original logo source file.
Why would I need to convert ICO to PNG?
Common reasons include: editing a favicon in an image editor that doesn't support ICO, extracting an icon for use in a mobile app, analyzing a competitor's favicon design, or converting Windows icons for use on other platforms.
