02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- The photo's rotation (EXIF orientation) is applied, so it comes out the right way up
- One .ico file with six sizes inside: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels, as Windows and browsers expect
- Transparency is kept
Good to know
- A JPG has already lost some detail to compression, and no conversion can bring it back.
- Icons are square. A picture that is not square is fitted inside the square with transparent padding, not cropped.
- For a sharp result start from a square image of at least 256×256 pixels.
- Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

JPG vs ICO
JPG
A JPG (or JPEG) file is the most common photo format — it compresses images by slightly reducing quality to keep file sizes small. It's what your phone camera, most cameras, and the web use by default for photos.
Used in: Photos & camera exports · Web pages & email · Social media uploads
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
