Upload your ICO file above. It is converted to WebP automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting ICO to WebP lose quality?

WebP is lossy by default, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality or switch on lossless in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the WebP keep the transparent background?

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

An ICO file bundles one picture at several sizes, from 16 to 256 pixels, so browsers and Windows can pick the sharpest version for a tab, bookmark or desktop shortcut.

Is the ICO to WebP converter free?
