PSD to ICO Converter – Create your own icons

The ICO format is an image container used primarily for icons in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is also widely used on the internet for "favicons" (favorite icons), the small image that appears next to the URL in the address bar or browser tab.

What is an ICO file used for?

Unlike standard images, an ICO file can contain multiple images of different sizes and color depths, allowing the system to display the appropriate icon depending on the context (file list, desktop, taskbar).

  • Web Developers: To create the `favicon.ico` file, essential for any website.
  • Windows Customization: To change the appearance of folders and shortcuts on your computer.
  • Software Developers: To integrate the application icon directly into the executable file (.exe).

Tips for successful conversion

For the best result, ensure your source PSD file is square (e.g., 512x512 pixels) and has a transparent background if you don't want a white square around your logo.
