Website Favicons & Windows ICO Icon Standards
What is the ICO Format?
ICO is an icon container format created by Microsoft for Windows desktop shortcuts, taskbars, and browser favicons. Uniquely, a single `.ico` file packages multiple embedded raster images at different square pixel dimensions (e.g. 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256) within one unified binary file.
Why Convert Images to ICO?
Convert logos, brand symbols, or app graphics to ICO to generate a compliant `favicon.ico` for website root directories, or to style desktop application executables (`.exe`) across Windows 10, Windows 11, and desktop environments.
ICO Favicon FAQs
Which resolutions are included in the generated ICO file?
Our converter builds a multi-resolution ICO file containing 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, and 256x256 pixel layers to cover browser tab bars, bookmarks, desktop shortcuts, and high-DPI taskbar icons.
Where should I place favicon.ico on my website server?
Place `favicon.ico` in your site's root directory (e.g., `https://example.com/favicon.ico`) and reference it in your HTML head with <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />.
Does the ICO converter support transparent backgrounds?
Yes. If your source PNG or WebP image contains transparency, all embedded ICO resolution layers preserve 32-bit RGBA alpha channel transparency.
