Convert an ICO icon to PNG

An ICO file bundles several sizes of the same icon. This pulls out every image it contains and gives you a standard PNG for each, largest first — handy when you have a favicon or Windows icon and need an editable, universally-supported image.

Because an ICO can hold multiple resolutions, the biggest one gives you the most detail to work with.

What this does — and what it doesn't

  • Every size inside the ICO is extracted, largest first, and you can download any one or all of them as a ZIP.
  • Some very old ICO files store their images as raw bitmaps rather than PNG; those are decoded too, but transparency in legacy formats can occasionally be imperfect.

ICO to PNG — frequently asked questions

Which size do I get from a multi-size ICO?
All of them. Each size is listed with its own Download button, largest first, and there is a ZIP of the lot. Older icons that use a 1-, 4- or 8-bit colour palette are read too.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API and, for some formats, WebAssembly — the image never leaves your device. Most conversions keep working with the internet switched off once the page has loaded. A few (HEIC, TIFF, AVIF and PNG to SVG) download a helper file from this site the first time you use them; if you are offline at that moment you are told so, not blamed for a broken file. There is no upload endpoint to send anything to.
Is it really free?
Yes — no account, no watermark, no daily limit, and no paid step at download. It's free because there's no server doing the work, so it costs us almost nothing to run.
