About this conversion
If your logo or icon source is a JPG, you can convert it directly to ICO for use as a favicon or application icon. Keep in mind that JPG doesn't support transparency — if you need a transparent background in your favicon, convert your image to PNG first, remove the background, then convert to ICO. For solid-background icons and logos, converting JPG to ICO directly works perfectly fine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a JPG photo as a favicon?
Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Favicons are typically simple icons or logos. A photo will be hard to recognize at 16×16 or 32×32 pixels.
Will my JPG background become transparent in the ICO?
No. JPG does not support transparency. Your background color will be preserved. To get a transparent favicon, convert to PNG first, remove the background, then convert that PNG to ICO.
What's the best image to use for a favicon?
A simple, high-contrast logo or icon on a solid or transparent background. It should be recognizable at very small sizes (16×16 pixels).
Is this converter free to use?
Yes, completely free. No account needed. Conversion happens in your browser with no file uploads.
