Converting JPG to ICO: what to know
JPG is converted to ICO to make an icon for a website, folder or shortcut from a photo or logo. ICO is the format of Windows icons and website favicons.
The icon size can be set from 16 to 256 pixels; the "16, 32 and 48 in one file" option stores several sizes at once. JPG has no transparency, so the icon background stays as it is in the picture. If you need transparency, start from a PNG.
For a website, "Website set (ZIP)" is more convenient: favicon.ico, an icon for iPhone, 192 and 512 pixel icons and a manifest file.
JPG or ICO: which to choose?
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the most widely supported photo format: small files thanks to lossy compression, but no transparency.
Best for photos and images for the web, email and messengers where compatibility and size matter most.
ICO (Windows Icon)
ICO is the icon format for Windows and website favicons; one file can contain several sizes.
Best for favicons and Windows application icons.
What happens when converting JPG to ICO
Choose the icon size from 16 to 256 pixels in the settings; transparency is preserved.
ICO stores the image without loss: the conversion adds no artifacts, but details already lost in JPG compression will not come back, and the file is usually larger.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
JPG files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
