What happens to your data
Kept
- Every pixel and the transparency of the PNG are read exactly as they are
- 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
- 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.
03 / formats
PNG vs ICO
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
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
