About converting ICO to PNG
An .ico file is a container holding one or more icon sizes — useful for Windows and favicons, but not a format most image editors or viewers handle gracefully. This tool extracts the icon as a normal PNG you can open and edit anywhere.
The ICO's largest embedded image is decoded and exported as a PNG with transparency preserved, entirely in your browser.
Supported files
Accepts .ico files. Produces a .png image from the icon's largest embedded resolution.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded.

ICO to PNG — frequently asked questions
Is the file uploaded?+
No — the ICO is decoded and re-encoded as PNG entirely in your browser.
Any quality loss?+
No — the icon's pixels come through unchanged into the lossless PNG.
Is there a free way to convert a Windows icon (.ico) to PNG?+
Yes — this tool decodes the icon and re-encodes it as PNG entirely in your browser, free and with nothing uploaded.
Which size does it extract if the ICO has several?+
The largest embedded size, for the sharpest possible PNG.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
