Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript ArrayBuffers. Your image never leaves your device.

What image formats can I upload?

JPG/JPEG and PNG files are both accepted. The tool reads the file locally and draws it onto a canvas, so any format your browser can decode will work.

Why does the ICO contain multiple sizes?

Browsers and operating systems pick the best resolution from available sizes. Including 16px (browser tab), 32px (taskbar), 48px (desktop shortcut), and 64px (high-DPI display) ensures sharp rendering everywhere.

Can I choose which sizes to include?

Yes. Use the size checkboxes before downloading. At least one size must be selected. Including all four sizes is recommended for maximum compatibility.

Will the icon look sharp at 16x16?

The tool uses bilinear-like downscaling via the browser's Canvas API. For best results at small sizes, use a simple logo or icon rather than a detailed photograph.

Is the downloaded file a valid .ico?

Yes. The file follows the standard ICO binary format (ICONDIR + ICONDIRENTRY headers + PNG-compressed image data per size) and can be used directly as a favicon.ico or Windows icon.
