Image to ICO

Need a crisp, Windows-ready icon from a PNG or JPG? Our Image to ICO tool converts your photos, logos, and artwork into .ico files (perfect for desktop shortcuts, apps, and legacy Windows icons) in a single click. Upload any common image and the converter will produce multiple formats and sizes commonly used by Windows and browsers — no software install required. If you’re preparing a favicon for a website, try the companion Image to Favicon Converter or test how it looks live with the Favicon Preview page to make sure your tiny logo remains recognisable at 16×16 and 32×32. Want to inspect the resulting file before downloading? Open the generated icon in the ICO Preview to verify every pixel and size variant quickly.

For best results, start with a high-contrast image and use the Image Resizer & Converter to crop or scale your source to square dimensions, then optimise it with the Image Compressor & Resizer to keep file sizes tiny without visible quality loss. If you need to protect or label logos before converting, the GUW Image Watermark tool lets you add text or logo marks client-side so your brand stays intact. These simple, linked steps — resize, optimise, watermark (if needed), convert and preview — give you pixel-perfect .ico files ready for apps, installers and web icons, all within the GearUpWindows toolset.
