    About this converter

    SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without quality loss, described as XML rather than pixels. ICO is the Windows icon container, holding several sizes in a single file.

    An SVG is instructions rather than pixels, which is why it stays sharp at any size — and why anything expecting a picture rejects it. Converting SVG to ICO rasterises the drawing at a fixed size, for the upload form, the document or the app that will not take a vector.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will converting to ICO reduce the image quality?

    Icons are scaled down to the standard sizes Windows and browsers ask for, so fine detail goes — that is inherent to an icon rather than to the conversion.

    Why does Windows say my icon is 16x16?

    Because an .ico holds several pictures at once, and Properties shows the first of them. Yours contains 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixel versions — Windows picks whichever suits the taskbar, the desktop or a file listing.

    Do my SVG files get sent anywhere?

    No. Everything happens on your own device, so your pictures never leave it.
