Why convert SVG to ICO?
Turns a SVG image into the icon format browsers and Windows expect.
ICO files are usually a little bigger than SVG, which is the price of wider support.
About the two formats
SVG: Built from shapes instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. Converting turns it into pixels at one fixed size.
ICO: The icon format for Windows and websites. Browsers look for it when they show the small tab icon.
The whole conversion happens in your browser. Your file is unpacked into raw pixels and saved again as ICO. Nothing is sent to any server.
Common questions
Is the SVG to ICO converter free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The SVG to ICO converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Does converting SVG to ICO lose quality?
No. Both SVG and ICO store every pixel exactly as it was, so the picture that comes out is identical to the one that went in. Only the file size and what can open the file change.
Will the ICO file be smaller than the SVG?
No, expect it to grow somewhat. ICO doesn't compress as hard as SVG, which is the price of the wider support you're converting for. Compress it afterwards if the size matters.
Does converting SVG to ICO keep the date and location from the original?
No. The image is rebuilt pixel by pixel, so the camera model, the date and any GPS location in the original aren't carried into the ICO file. That cuts both ways: it strips information you may not want to share, and it loses information you may have wanted to keep. Check the original with the metadata viewer first if it matters.
