How to convert ICO to PNG

  1. Add your ICO image above — it's read locally in your browser, never uploaded.
  2. The output is set to PNG; press convert to re-encode it.
  3. Download your PNG file. The image keeps its original dimensions; only the format changes.

About converting ICO to PNG

Converting ICO to PNG re-encodes the image in the PNG format using your browser's canvas, so you can switch formats without extra software.

Everything happens on your device — nothing is uploaded. If PNG has no transparency, any transparent areas are filled with white, and FileTinker warns you first.

This pulls the image out of a Windows icon file into a normal PNG you can edit, preview or reuse. Your browser's own decoder reads the ICO — for icons that pack several sizes it typically picks the largest — and transparency comes through intact in the PNG output.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert ICO to PNG?

Drag your ICO image into the tool above and press Convert. FileTinker re-encodes it as PNG in your browser, then you download the result.

Will converting ICO to PNG reduce the quality?

Converting to PNG re-encodes the image. PNG is lossless, JPG and WebP use light compression to keep files small; FileTinker uses a high-quality setting so the difference is hard to see.

What happens to transparency when I convert to PNG?

JPG has no transparency, so any transparent areas are filled with white. PNG and WebP keep transparency intact.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.

My ICO contains several sizes — which one converts?

The browser's built-in decoder chooses, and in practice that is normally the largest embedded size. If you need one specific small size out of a multi-size icon, extract it in an icon editor; for everything else, the largest frame as PNG is usually what you want.
