WebP to ICO Converter

Drop a WebP, get a ICO. Nothing is uploaded.

Resize

The shape is always kept, so the other side follows. Neither maximum ever ENLARGES a picture that is already smaller than it.

Pixels for either maximum, and a percentage for the last one. It is ignored while Resize is keeping the original size.

Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.

What this does

Browsers, Squoosh and most modern export tools write WebP. An ICO is what a browser tab and a Windows shortcut ask for by name, and neither of them accepts anything else in its place. It is what a website wants, which is why a picture headed for a shop listing ends up here.

How it works

  1. Choose your WebP fileDrag a WebP file onto the box above, or press it and pick one. It is read in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
  2. Wait for the ICOThe conversion runs on your own computer, so how long it takes depends on your machine and the size of the file, not on a queue.
  3. Download the ICOPress the download button. The ICO file lands in your downloads folder, ready for your slicer.

About the formats

Why your file is a WebP
WebP. Browsers, Squoosh and most modern export tools write WebP.
Why you want a ICO
Windows Icon. An ICO is what a browser tab and a Windows shortcut ask for by name, and neither of them accepts anything else in its place.
What a ICO holds
Several sizes of one small square in a single file, each with its own transparency, so a browser can take whichever size it needs.
What changes on the way to ICO
The longest side is brought down to 256 where it is over, and one size goes in: a real icon file often carries four or five, and this writes a single one.
Where this format turns up
It is what a website wants, which is why a picture headed for a shop listing ends up here.

Questions

Is WebP to ICO Converter free?

Yes. Every tool on Short Work Tools is free, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many files you run through it. It runs on your own computer, so it costs us nothing to give away.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. There is no upload step, no server copy and nothing kept afterwards, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.

What does the ICO keep from the WebP?

Several sizes of one small square in a single file, each with its own transparency, so a browser can take whichever size it needs. The longest side is brought down to 256 where it is over, and one size goes in: a real icon file often carries four or five, and this writes a single one.

How large a file can I use?

Up to 250 MB. The limit is your browser's memory rather than an upload size, because the file never goes anywhere; a file larger than that is refused with a message rather than crashing the tab.

Which programs write WebP files?

Browsers, Squoosh and most modern export tools write WebP. It is what a website wants, which is why a picture headed for a shop listing ends up here.

Does the converted picture keep the information the camera wrote into it?

No, and there is no setting for it because there is nothing to set. The picture is decoded to pixels and drawn onto a fresh canvas, and a canvas has no place to put the camera model, the date or the GPS position the original carried, so none of it is in the file you get back.
