RAW to ICO Converter
Turn RAW 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 RAW to ICO?
RAW files are huge and need special software, so they can't be shared or posted directly.
Browsers and Windows need ICO for favicons and app icons.
What to expect
- We use the full-size preview your camera stores inside the RAW file, so you get the colours you saw on the camera. For exposure or white-balance edits, use a RAW editor first.
- 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
RAW (Camera RAW (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF and more)) is the unprocessed sensor data saved by DSLR and mirrorless cameras. RAW files are great for editing but large, brand-specific and impossible to share as-is. Every camera stores a ready-made preview inside its RAW files, usually at full resolution. This converter uses that preview, so colours match what you saw on the camera's screen.
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 RAW to ICO?
Drop your RAW 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 RAW 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 RAW 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.
Which RAW formats are supported?
Canon (CR2, CR3), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Sony (ARW), Adobe DNG, Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Fujifilm (RAF), Pentax (PEF), Samsung (SRW) and most others, because they all store a preview image we can read.
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.
