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 WebP at quality 80, usually much smaller than JPG or PNG at the same look
  • 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.
  • Very old software and some printers cannot open WebP. Use JPG or PNG there.
  • The new format is lossy, so tiny pixel-level differences from the original are expected. Keep the original if you need exact pixels.

ICO vs WEBP

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

WEBP

A WebP file is a modern image format from Google that compresses smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality, while supporting both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency. It's now the format most websites serve automatically to speed up page loads.

Used in: Modern websites · Faster page loads · Automatic image optimization
