Why convert JPG to ICO?
Icons have to be small and square, so a photo needs resizing to several sizes at once. This produces a single ICO containing all of them, ready to use as a favicon or application icon.
Is it safe?
Yes. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, and your JPG file is never sent to a server. Metadata such as location is also removed automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Converting JPG to ICO is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The free plan handles several files per batch; an optional premium licence removes ads and raises the limits.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your JPG files are read and converted by your browser on your own device. You can confirm it by opening your browser's developer tools and watching the Network tab while you convert: no file upload ever appears.
Will I lose quality?
That depends on the target. Lossless targets such as PNG keep every pixel. Lossy targets such as JPG and WebP let you choose the trade-off between file size and quality with the presets or the fine-tune slider.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. Very large files may be slower on older phones because the work happens on the device itself.
What happens to photo metadata?
When an image is re-encoded, metadata such as GPS location and camera details is not carried over, so the ICO file you download does not reveal where the photo was taken.
