Why convert SVG to ICO?
- Sharpest small icons. A vector source rasterizes cleanly at every favicon size, so 16 px stays legible instead of muddy.
- Works everywhere. An .ico covers older browsers, Windows shortcuts, and tools that don't accept an SVG favicon.
- One file, all sizes. 16→256 px in a single
favicon.ico, transparency kept.
How it works
- Use the converter. No registration is required.
- Upload your SVG file. Drag and drop your SVG, or browse from your device.
- Convert to ICO. Select ICO as the target format and click Convert — the SVG is rendered at 256 px and packed into all standard favicon sizes.
- Download the .ico file. Save it and drop it in your site root as
favicon.ico.
Good for
- Turning a vector logo into a site favicon.
- Getting the crispest possible small-size icons.
- Producing an .ico for a Windows app or shortcut from a vector source.
FAQ
Why convert SVG to ICO instead of using the SVG directly? Modern browsers accept an SVG favicon, but older browsers, Windows shortcuts, and many tools still expect a .ico. Converting gives you a single file that works everywhere, with all the standard sizes baked in.
What resolution is the icon rendered at? The SVG is rasterized at 256x256 — the largest ICO frame — and the smaller sizes are downsampled from that. Because the source is vector, the render is sharp at every size.
Does it keep transparency? Yes. An SVG with no background shape rasterizes to a transparent PNG, and that transparency carries into the .ico, so the icon sits cleanly on any tab or background.
Which favicon sizes are included? Six frames in one file — 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 px. The browser or operating system picks the size it needs automatically.
Is it free? Yes. No signup, no watermark, no payment. Free for personal and commercial use, up to five files per upload at 20 MB each.
