About the ICO to JPG Converter
We created this ICO to JPG Converter to help you easily transform specialized icon files into universal image formats. While ICO files are excellent for Windows applications and website favicons, they aren't compatible with most standard image viewers, social media platforms, or document editors. JPG, on the other hand, is the most widely supported image format in the world.
Converting to JPG solves compatibility issues instantly. However, there is one catch: ICO files often have transparent backgrounds, but the JPG format does not support transparency. Our tool handles this automatically by filling the transparent areas with a clean white background, ensuring your icon looks crisp and professional. You can also crop the image to focus on specific details and resize it to fit your project requirements.
We believe your data should stay yours. That is why we built this tool to run entirely in your web browser. When you choose a file, it is processed locally on your device using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, meaning your files remain completely private and the conversion is lightning fast.
How to Use the Tool
- Click the upload area to select an ICO file, or just drag and drop one from your computer.
- The icon will appear in the editor. A crop box will be available if you want to trim empty space.
- Use the "Resize" fields to set specific dimensions for your final image.
- Adjust the "Quality" slider to balance file size and image clarity (lower quality results in smaller files).
- Watch the "Result" preview to see exactly what your JPG will look like.
- Click "Download .jpg" to save the new file to your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ICO file?
An ICO file is a container for pixel-based images, primarily used for icons in Microsoft Windows and for website favicons. It can store multiple images of varying sizes and color depths in a single file.
Does JPG support transparency?
No, the JPG format does not support transparency. If your original ICO file has a transparent background, our tool will fill that transparent area with white. If you need to keep the background transparent, you should use our ICO to PNG converter instead.
Why convert ICO to JPG?
You might need to convert ICO to JPG if you want to use the icon graphic in a Word document, share it on social media, or send it via email. JPG files are universally supported, whereas ICO files usually require specific software to view.
Is it safe to use this tool?
Yes, it is 100% safe and private. We do not store or see your files. The conversion happens directly in your web browser on your own computer, so your data never leaves your control.
Can I resize the image?
Yes. Once you upload the ICO, you can type in new width and height values in the "Resize" section. This is useful if you need to enlarge a small icon or scale it down for a specific use.
