SVG/PNG/ICO conversion workflow
Convert between SVG, PNG, and ICO formats for favicon and app icon workflows. Generate multi-size ICO files for browser compatibility or extract PNG frames from existing ICO files.
How to use this tool
- Choose the conversion mode: SVG/PNG → ICO, PNG → SVG, or ICO → PNG/SVG.
- Upload your source file (SVG, PNG, or ICO depending on the selected mode).
- For ICO output, select which sizes to include in the file (16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256px).
- Preview the conversion result.
- Download the converted file in the target format.
Best-practice tips
- When generating an ICO favicon, include at least 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 sizes in the ICO container for broad browser compatibility.
- Use SVG as your source logo whenever possible — SVG is resolution-independent and produces sharper rasterized output at any size than a small PNG.
- For the sharpest ICO output, start with a 256×256 or larger PNG or SVG. The tool downsamples to the target sizes with high-quality interpolation.
- PNG → SVG conversion traces the pixel boundaries. It works well for simple icons and logos but produces large, complex SVG paths for photographs or detailed raster images.
- ICO files can contain multiple image sizes in a single file. Select all relevant sizes when generating an ICO for maximum browser coverage.

Common questions
What is the difference between ICO and PNG favicons?
An ICO file is a container that holds multiple sizes in one file. Older browsers require it. PNG favicons are simpler and supported by all modern browsers. For full compatibility, serve both: a favicon.ico for legacy support and a PNG favicon for modern browsers. See the Favicon Size Guide for the exact HTML markup.
Can I convert a PNG logo to SVG?
Yes, the PNG → SVG conversion traces the pixel shapes in the PNG and generates SVG paths. The result works well for logos with clean flat-color areas. For photographs or images with gradients, the SVG output will be large and complex, and a PNG or WebP is a better choice.
What sizes should I include in a favicon.ico?
For broad compatibility, include 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 in your favicon.ico. The 16px size shows in browser tabs, 32px for the taskbar, and 48px for Windows site shortcuts. You can also include 64px and 128px for high-DPI displays.
How do I make a favicon from my SVG logo?
Upload your SVG using the "SVG → ICO" mode, select the sizes you need (16, 32, 48 at minimum), and download the ICO file. Alternatively, use the Favicon Generator to create a full set of PNG icons plus an ICO from a single source image.
