Frequently asked questions
Does WebP to ICO keep transparency?
Yes. A transparent background in the WebP stays transparent in the icon.
Can I use an animated WebP as an animated icon?
No. The ICO is built from the first frame only and is a still icon.
How big should the WebP be?
Square and at least 256 by 256 pixels for the full set of six sizes. Smaller images still work but produce only the sizes they are large enough for.
Are my WebP files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your WebP files stay on your device. There is no signup, no watermark and no cost, and you can convert a whole batch and download it as a zip.
About WebP to ICO
Logos and avatars downloaded from the web are often WebP, but favicon.ico and Windows icons need ICO. Converting keeps the transparent background that WebP supports, and the converter writes one file with PNG images at 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels, limited to the sizes your image is large enough to supply.

An animated WebP becomes an icon from its first frame only. Lossy WebP files can carry compression artifacts that are scaled down along with the picture, so a clean original gives a better icon. A non-square image is centered on a transparent square rather than stretched, and an image under 256 pixels simply gives fewer sizes. Metadata is removed, with orientation applied first. If you can get the original logo as SVG or PNG, use that instead, because it avoids a generation of lossy compression.
WebP is either lossy or lossless, depending on how the file was saved; ICO is a container for several sizes of the same icon, each stored here as a losslessly compressed PNG image. Both formats can store transparency, so transparent areas in the WebP file stay transparent. WebP files can be animated, but the result is a still image made from the first frame. Compatibility: Windows uses it for program, shortcut and file icons, and every browser accepts it as a site icon. Image editors and upload forms rarely accept it as an ordinary picture.
