About this tool

Converting SVG to ICO is the easiest way to turn a vector logo into a sharp favicon.ico for a website.

SVG is a vector format: it describes shapes rather than pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It's ideal for logos and icons on the web, but many apps, social networks and upload forms only accept pixel formats such as PNG or JPG.

ICO is the Windows icon format, and the classic format for website favicons (favicon.ico). One ICO file holds the same icon at several sizes so it looks crisp in browser tabs, bookmarks and on the desktop.

The icon is made square (the image is centred on a transparent background if it isn't square already) and saved at 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels in one file, each stored losslessly. For the sharpest result, start from an image at least 256 pixels wide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert multiple SVG files to ICO at once?

Yes. Select or drop as many SVG files as you like; each is converted to ICO and you can download them individually or all together as a ZIP.

What size will the ICO be?

By default the SVG is drawn at the size set in the file. To make it bigger or smaller, open “More options”, tick “Resize the image too” and enter a width — because SVG is a vector format, even a large ICO stays perfectly sharp.

Which sizes are included in the ICO file?

16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 for browser tabs and Windows, plus 64, 128 and 256 pixel versions when the source image is large enough. Browsers and Windows automatically pick the best size.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The image is decoded, processed and re-encoded entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, which also makes it fast — there is no upload or download wait.
