Favicon ICO converter
Convert an image into an ICO favicon.
Convert a square image into an ICO favicon in your browser. Samurai Pixel supports ICO export, 1:1 crop, and 256 x 256 favicon preparation.
1:1, ICO, 256 x 256. This is for favicon stacks that still ask for an ICO file.
Use simple artwork with strong contrast because favicons are displayed very small.
Do not use ICO just because it exists; PNG or SVG can be better when your site supports them.
Recommended settings
- Ratio: 1:1 because favicon artwork needs a square source canvas.
- Size: 256 x 256 as a modern source size before browser scaling.
- Format: ICO only when a legacy favicon file is required.
- Check: test whether the mark is still recognizable when reduced to browser-tab size.
Use when
- Website favicon files.
- Converting PNG artwork into ICO.
- Preparing icon assets for a web project.
