What happens when you convert SVG to ICO
| Compression | Lossless → Lossless |
|---|---|
| Resolution | SVG is vector, so you choose the pixel width; the ICO is sharp at that size and blurs if enlarged later |
| Transparency | Kept |
| Sizes | 16, 32 and 48 px by default, up to 256 px, in one .ico file |
| Metadata | EXIF, GPS location and camera data are not copied to the new file |
| Opens in | Windows and every browser (as a favicon) |
Sizes are typical values; your files will vary with content and settings.
SVG Scalable Vector Graphics
SVG describes shapes, paths and text as XML instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It is the standard for logos and icons on the web.

ICO is a container that holds one or more square icon images at different sizes. Browsers use it for favicon.ico and Windows uses it for application and shortcut icons.

Why convert SVG to ICO?
SVG files come from logo packs, icon libraries, Figma and Illustrator exports, and website assets. Many apps, social networks and office tools only accept raster images like PNG or JPG. Choose ICO for a website favicon or a Windows shortcut icon.
SVG to ICO settings
Choose which icon sizes to embed. Non-square images are centred on a transparent square canvas. Set the output width to render the vector at any resolution without blurring. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Will the ICO lose quality?
No. The SVG is drawn fresh at the width you choose, so the ICO is sharp at that size. It only looks soft if it is later enlarged beyond that width.
Is transparency kept when converting SVG to ICO?
Yes. ICO supports transparency, so transparent areas in your SVG stay transparent.
What resolution will the ICO be?
Whatever width you choose. SVG is a vector format with no fixed pixel size, so the converter draws it fresh at the width you set and keeps the proportions. For a logo on a website, 2× the size it is displayed at keeps it sharp on high-density screens.
