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?

WebP files are accepted. All modern browsers natively support decoding WebP, so the conversion is fast and reliable.

Why does the ICO contain multiple sizes?

Browsers and operating systems pick the best resolution from available sizes. Including 16px (browser tab), 32px (taskbar), and 48px (desktop shortcut) ensures sharp rendering in common environments.

Can I choose which sizes to include?

Yes. Use the size checkboxes before downloading. At least one size must be selected. Including all three 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 with clear shapes 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.

Does WebP transparency (alpha) carry over to the ICO?

Yes. WebP images with transparent backgrounds are preserved in the ICO file. The canvas draws without a white fill when the source is WebP, so transparent areas remain transparent in all icon sizes.
