PSD to ICO Converter
Turn PSD files into ICO in seconds. Everything happens on your device: nothing is uploaded, and there's no limit.
Your images are processed in this browser tab and never uploaded.
Why convert PSD to ICO?
Not everyone has Photoshop, and PSD files are too big to share.
Browsers and Windows need ICO for favicons and app icons.
What to expect
- Layers are flattened into one image, exactly as the document looks with its visible layers. The PSD needs to be saved with “Maximize compatibility” on (Photoshop's default).
- One ICO file is created with 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixel sizes. Non-square images are centred on a transparent square.

About the formats
PSD (Adobe Photoshop Document, 1990) is Photoshop's own working format. It keeps layers, masks and editing data, which makes files large and only readable in software that understands Photoshop documents.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PSD to ICO?
Drop your PSD files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each ICO 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 PSD 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 PSD 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.
What size should a favicon be?
Modern sites use a 32×32 favicon, with 16×16 for older browsers and larger sizes for shortcuts. This converter puts 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixel versions into one ICO file, so you only need one. Use a square image for the best result.
Do I need Photoshop?
No. The PSD is read in your browser. You get the flattened image as it appears in Photoshop. Files saved without “Maximize compatibility” don't contain that image; re-save them with it on.
Will I lose quality converting to ICO?
No. ICO is lossless, so the converted image keeps every pixel of the original.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
