Files are processed locally in this browser. Limit: 10 MiB; SVG: 1 MiB. Images must be at most 16 megapixels and 8192 px per side.

Example

Rasterize a square SVG logo at 32 × 32 for favicon.ico. A wide logo is fitted into the square with transparent padding.

Creates one PNG-compressed image inside a valid ICO container. Choose 16–256 px; legacy readers requiring BMP icons or multiple resolutions may not accept it. Complex/active SVG content is rejected.

How to Use SVG to ICO

Use the controls above, then check the example and limitations below.

1

Choose SVG artwork

Upload a self-contained SVG made from safe paths, shapes and supported local gradients. Remove active or external content.

2

Pick icon dimensions

Select one square size. A simple square source usually gives the clearest small icon.

3

Create ICO

Convert and download the ICO. Test it in the target browser or application, especially when legacy ICO compatibility is required.

💡

What is SVG to ICO & How Does It Work?

A browser favicon or desktop icon often needs a square raster asset even when the master logo is SVG. This converter rasterizes safe SVG artwork into a selected square and places the PNG bytes inside a real ICO directory.

The file contains one size: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 or 256 pixels. Artwork is fitted proportionally with transparent padding. For tiny icons, inspect the result in its intended app: thin lines and small text may become hard to see.

Key Features & Benefits

✓

Valid ICO container

Writes ICONDIR and an image entry pointing to the actual PNG payload.

✓

Clear compatibility scope

One resolution per file; legacy BMP-only and multi-resolution requirements need a separate editor.

🎯

Common Use Cases

✦

Favicon creation

Create a 16 or 32 pixel icon from an existing vector logo.

✦

Modern app icons

Generate a transparent PNG-compressed ICO for a reader that supports it.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It contains an ICO directory and one correctly sized PNG image payload. It is not a PNG renamed to .ico. Modern browsers and operating systems support PNG-compressed ICO; older BMP-only readers may not.

This tool creates one selected resolution per ICO file. If your application requires a multi-resolution ICO, use a dedicated icon editor. A square source logo with clear shapes usually works best at 16 or 32 pixels.
