02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • The largest picture inside the icon is used, so you get the best quality it holds
  • Saved as a lossless PNG, so no quality is lost in this step
  • Transparency is kept

Good to know

  • Icons are small, usually 256×256 pixels at most, so the result is small and looks blurry if you enlarge it.
  • PNG files are much larger than JPG or WebP for photos.

03 / formats

ICO vs PNG

ICO

An ICO file bundles one or more small icon images into a single file, traditionally used for Windows application and file-type icons. It's still the required format for website favicons today.

Used in: Website favicons · Windows app icons · Desktop shortcuts

PNG

A PNG file stores images without losing any quality (lossless), and supports transparency. It's the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and any graphic that needs a see-through background.

Used in: Screenshots · Logos & icons · Graphics with transparency
