Does converting PNG to ICO lose quality?

Each icon size is scaled down from your image and stored without further compression, so small sizes stay crisp.

Will the ICO keep the transparent background?

Yes. ICO supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

PNG or ICO: which should I use?

Use PNG for screenshots, logos, text graphics and cut-outs. Use ICO for website favicons and Windows app or shortcut icons. Keep in mind the main drawback of ICO: icons are square and at most 256 × 256 pixels.

Transparent areas stay transparent: ICO supports smooth, partial transparency just like PNG.
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 PNG to ICO

Les icônes sont carrées : une image non carrée est donc centrée sur un carré transparent. Les tailles supérieures à celle de votre image ne sont pas créées, partez donc d’au moins 256 × 256 pixels.
Votre fichier PNG d’origine n’est pas modifié : vous téléchargez une nouvelle copie au format ICO.
