Why convert ICO to WebP?

ICO files are hard to edit or preview outside Windows.

WebP files are much smaller, so websites load faster and use less storage.

What to expect

  • WebP is lossy, so the file gets much smaller. At the default quality (90%) the difference is very hard to see; you can change it before converting.

About the formats

ICO (Windows Icon, 1985) is the icon format used by Windows and by website favicons. One ICO file can hold several sizes (16×16 up to 256×256), so the right one is shown in tabs, desktops and taskbars.

WebP (WebP, 2010) is Google's modern web format. It makes files roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality and supports both transparency and animation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert ICO to WebP?

Drop your ICO files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each WebP downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your ICO files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Is there a limit on how many ICO files I can convert?

No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.

Will I lose quality converting to WebP?

WebP uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Move the Quality slider up for the highest fidelity or down for smaller files.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
