How to convert JPG to ICO
Make an icon from a JPG photo or logo for a website favicon, a Windows shortcut or a folder icon.
- Drop your JPG file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- ICO is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your ICO file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "ico".
Good to know
- Crop your image to a square first for the best result.
- Large images are scaled down to 256 × 256, the maximum for ICO.
- JPG has no transparency, so the icon will have a solid background. Use a PNG with a transparent background if you want a cut-out icon.
About the formats
.jpg
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression to keep files small, which suits photographs well but can blur sharp edges and text, and it has no transparency.
.ico
ICO is the icon format used by Windows and by website favicons. One file can hold several sizes of the same icon, up to 256 × 256 pixels.
Questions
How do I change a folder icon on Windows?
Right-click the folder → Properties → Customize → Change Icon, then browse to the .ico file.
Why does my icon have a white box?
JPG images can't be transparent. Remove the background and save as PNG first, then convert PNG to ICO.
