Frequently Asked Questions

Which size is extracted from multi-size ICO files?

This tool automatically extracts the largest resolution from the ICO file. For example, if your favicon.ico contains 16×16, 32×32, and 256×256 versions, the 256×256 version will be extracted and converted to JPG for maximum quality.

What happens to transparent areas in the ICO?

JPG format doesn't support transparency, so any transparent areas in your ICO will be converted to white background. If you need to preserve transparency, use our ICO to PNG converter instead.

Can I convert ICO files from websites?

Yes! Most websites have their favicon at yourdomain.com/favicon.ico as defined by W3C favicon guidelines. Download it, then use this tool to convert it to JPG. This is useful for extracting logos for presentations or documentation.

Is my data safe when using this converter?

Absolutely! All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your ICO files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What quality is used for the JPG conversion?

We use 95% quality for JPG conversion, which provides excellent image quality while still maintaining reasonable file sizes. This setting balances visual quality with file size optimization as recommended by web standards.

Can I convert the JPG back to ICO?

Yes! You can use our JPG to ICO converter to convert your JPG image back to a multi-size ICO favicon. Learn more about the ICO file format and check browser support for more details on favicon formats.
