ICO to SVG Converter

Summary

This tool converts ICO files to SVG format entirely in your browser. It parses the ICO binary to discover all embedded frame sizes, lets you pick the best resolution, renders the chosen frame onto an HTML5 Canvas, exports it as a PNG data URL, then wraps it in an SVG container for download. The SVG preserves the original pixel dimensions and scales cleanly in any vector-aware application. No files are ever sent to a server.

How it works

1. Click or drag an ICO file onto the upload area.
2. The browser reads the ICO binary and detects all embedded frame sizes.
3. Select the frame size you want to use from the dropdown.
4. The chosen frame is rendered to a Canvas and exported as a PNG.
5. An SVG wrapper embeds the PNG as a base64 image element.
6. Click Download SVG to save the file to your device.
