ICO to PNG Converter — Free, Online, No Upload

ICO files are purpose-built containers for Windows icons and browser favicons. They work perfectly in that context, but ICO is not a general-purpose image format — most image editors, web platforms, design tools, and image processing scripts don't handle ICO natively, or open only the first (smallest) embedded size rather than the full-resolution version.

Converting ICO to PNG gives you an image you can actually work with. Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Photoshop, and virtually every other design tool opens PNG without any issues. If you're rebuilding a brand identity and the only source file you have for a logo is an ICO file, converting to PNG is the first step before any editing work begins. PNG also preserves the transparency that ICO images typically use — the icon's background stays transparent in the output.

ICO files often contain multiple sizes embedded within a single file (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and sometimes 256×256). When converting, the tool typically extracts the largest embedded size, giving you the highest-resolution version available. Expect that version to be exactly as sharp as the source — PNG is lossless, so no detail is introduced or lost. If the ICO contains only small sizes (common for older favicons), the resulting PNG will be small and may not be suitable for larger uses like print or large-format display.

Typical sizes: ICO 10–100 KB (multi-size icon); PNG 8–25 MB (12MP photo).

Both formats keep every pixel, so the PNG looks the same as the ICO.

On the free tier, PNG output has a repeating formatdrop.com watermark; Pro output doesn't.

Transparency is kept.
