About this tool

ICO to JPG, in the browser and without an upload. ICO is built for icons, so most editors and web platforms will not accept one, and ICO being the Windows icon container, which holds several small sizes of the same image in one file is exactly why that happens. On the other side, JPG is the format almost every camera, phone and website has understood for thirty years. JPG is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is discarded. At the quality this tool uses that is invisible on a photograph, but fine text and sharp edges - screenshots especially - can soften slightly. Files usually come out noticeably smaller, because JPG compresses much harder than ICO. ICO can store transparent areas and JPG cannot, so anything see-through is flattened onto a solid background. The converter fills it with white rather than letting it turn black. Nothing is uploaded. Your ICO files are decoded and re-encoded by your own device, so they never travel to a server, there is no queue behind other people's files, and there is no cap on how many you convert.

How to use this tool

  1. Add your ICO filesClick the box or drag ICO images onto it. Nothing is uploaded - your browser reads the files directly.
  2. Let it convertEach image is decoded and re-encoded as JPG on your device. A large batch takes a moment; nothing is queued on a server.
  3. Download your JPG imagesSave them one at a time, or take the whole batch as a single ZIP.

Key features

  • Converts ICO to JPG without uploading anything.
  • No sign-up, no watermark and no file-count limit.
  • Shows the before and after size of every file, so you can see what the conversion cost or saved.
  • Batch conversion - drop a whole folder and convert it in one pass.
  • Works offline once the page has loaded.

Common uses

  • Archiving ICO originals in a format you will still be able to open in ten years.
  • Converting a batch of ICO files handed over by a client or a colleague.
  • Getting ICO images into a document, presentation or email that refuses to embed them.
  • Opening a ICO in software that only accepts JPG.
  • Preparing ICO images for a platform that rejects the format on upload.

Tips for better results

  • Convert from the highest-quality ICO you have, not one that has already been resized or re-saved.
  • Decide on the background colour before converting. Transparent areas become solid, and white is not always what you want behind a logo.
  • An ICO can hold several sizes at once. The browser picks the largest, so that is the one you get.
  • Batch the whole folder in one pass - converting one file at a time is the slow way to do this.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting JPG to repair a low-quality ICO. Conversion changes the container, never the pixels already inside it.
  • Converting a transparent logo to JPG and only noticing the white box behind it after it is published.
  • Renaming the file extension by hand instead of converting. That changes the name, not the data, and the file simply fails to open.

Supported formats

  • ICO
