Converting a PNG image to ICO

Morphr re-encodes the image as ICO, which is lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly. Transparency carries across to the ICO. It also strips the EXIF and GPS tags the original carried, so the ICO leaves nothing of the camera or the location behind.

PNG and ICO, explained

PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency support. It reproduces every pixel exactly, so it is the standard for screenshots, logos, icons and anything with crisp edges or a transparent background. ICO is the Windows icon format, used for app icons and website favicons. One file can hold several sizes so the system picks the sharpest.

Good to know

The private way to turn PNG into ICO

With Morphr, the whole conversion runs inside your browser tab using Morphr's own engine, so your file is never uploaded to a server, queued, or stored. That makes it a safe choice for personal photos, scanned documents and anything you'd rather not hand to a third party.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to ICO?
Drop your PNG file onto the converter above (or click to browse), and Morphr converts it to ICO right in your browser. When it's done, click download — there's nothing to install and no account to create.
Does converting to ICO lose quality?
ICO is lossless, so no image quality is lost in the conversion.
Does converting PNG to ICO remove EXIF and GPS data?
Yes. Re-encoding the image to ICO drops the embedded EXIF, GPS location and camera metadata, so the file you download carries none of those hidden details. If you'd rather keep a file's exact pixels but strip its metadata in place, use the Inspect tool instead.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your PNG file never leaves your device.
