Frequently asked questions

Does this just rename a PNG file?

No. The tool wraps the PNG image data in an ICO directory and image entry. The downloaded file is an ICO container containing one 256-pixel image.

Does the ICO contain multiple resolutions?

No. This converter produces a single 256-pixel image. The favicon generator offers separate PNG sizes and a 32-pixel ICO icon for website use.

Are my image files uploaded?

No. Image processing happens locally in your browser. The website downloads its code and, for AI tools, model assets. Anonymous site usage analytics are separate from your image files.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. No account or payment is required. Processing capacity depends on your browser, image dimensions, and available device memory.
