ICO to PNG Converter

Convert ICO favicon and Windows icon files to PNG locally in your browser.

About this tool

ICO files are useful for favicons and Windows icons, but PNG is easier to preview, edit, upload, and reuse in modern design workflows. PixWarp decodes ICO files in your browser and exports PNG without sending the icon to a server.

How to use

  1. 01

    Drop one or more .ico files into the upload area.

  2. 02

    PixWarp decodes each icon locally.

  3. 03

  4. 04

    Download the converted PNG files.

Privacy

Processing happens in your browser whenever the tool can run locally. Your source files are not uploaded to PixWarp servers.

Output details

  • Outputs standard image/png files.
  • ICO files can contain multiple embedded sizes; the browser decodes the renderable icon image.
  • Transparent icon pixels are preserved when the browser exposes alpha correctly.
