Image to Icon Converter Help

This online tool converts pictures to icons (.ico files). A Windows icon is a container of images. Each image of an icon has different size or color depth and Windows chooses the most appropriate image in various situations (on Desktop, in Start menu, in Window caption, etc.).

Each version of Windows has slightly different rules on what images should an icon contain. This tool can generate images compatible with the selected Windows version.

To convert an image, click the Browse button and select the image, then choose icon type and finally click on the Download button.

1. Pick image to convert

Allowed formats: .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp / Maximum size: 1MB

2. Choose icon type

Custom sizes

3. Get your icon

Save your icon to a folder of your choice.
