SVG to ICO Conversion

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format. Unlike raster formats (like JPG or PNG) that use pixels, SVGs use mathematical equations to define shapes. This means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, making them perfect for logos and icons.

ICO is a file format specifically designed for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. An ICO file can contain multiple images at different sizes and color depths, allowing the icon to scale appropriately across the interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you convert SVG to ICO?

SVG provides infinite scalability through vector paths, which theoretically makes it perfect for icons - one SVG scales perfectly from 16×16 to 512×512. However, ICO format's multi-resolution embedding offers a critical advantage: each size can be individually optimized rather than blindly scaled. At 16×16 pixels, simplified designs with fewer details remain legible; blind downscaling from high resolution creates muddy, illegible results. Converting SVG to ICO creates a proper multi-resolution icon container with each size rasterized from your vector source. You can manually optimize each embedded size - simplify details at 16×16, use full detail at 256×256. Essential for professional website favicons (browsers prefer .ico for maximum compatibility across all versions including IE), Windows application development, and ensuring your icon remains crisp and legible at every size from browser tabs to desktop shortcuts. ICO format guarantees compatibility back to Windows 3.x and ancient browsers.
