About This Tool

This converter reads one ICO file and exports the decoded icon image as a PNG. It is useful when you need a favicon, app icon, or Windows icon artwork as a regular transparent raster image for design work, documentation, or web previews.

What Changes During Conversion

  • The output is a PNG image, not an icon container.
  • Transparency can be carried into the PNG when the browser decodes it from the selected ICO.
  • If an ICO contains multiple embedded sizes, the browser chooses the decoded image it exposes.
  • Icon-specific container metadata and alternate embedded sizes are not preserved in the PNG.

Processing Notes

The file is decoded in the browser, drawn to Canvas, and exported with Canvas PNG encoding. Browser ICO support can vary, so unusual icon files or files with only legacy bitmap entries may fail to preview or convert.
