How to convert PNG to ICO
Drop your PNG files into the box at the top of the page, or click it to browse your files. The converter makes a copy of each one in ICO format, and you can download them one by one or all at once. You can convert up to 4 images a day for free, up to 8 MB each. Pro removes the daily limit, lets you convert up to 30 images at a time, and accepts images up to 30 MB.
You can also resize your images and strip out metadata like EXIF data and GPS location while you convert. We store your images for an hour before we permanently delete them.
