Why convert ICO to JPG?
ICO is the Windows icon container, used for application icons and website favicons. It can hold one or more small images, typically 16x16 up to 256x256 pixels. JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression to make small files, which is why it is the default for photographs across the web. It does not support transparency.
- JPG has no transparency channel, so any transparent areas are flattened onto a solid background (white by default, adjustable below).
- JPG compression makes the image far smaller than ICO; use the quality slider to balance size against sharpness.
- Produce a small, universally compatible JPG that is ideal for photos and email attachments.
