Why convert HEIC to ICO?
- ICO is supported far more widely than HEIC, so the file is easier to open, share and upload.
- One ICO bundles the standard 16 to 256 px icon sizes (up to the size of your image), ready for a favicon.ico or a Windows shortcut.
What to expect when converting HEIC to ICO
- Icons are square, so a non-square image is centred on a transparent square. Sizes larger than your image aren’t created, so start from at least 256 × 256 pixels.
- High-dynamic-range and wide-colour detail is converted to standard 8-bit colour.
