How do I convert ICO to BMP?

Does converting ICO to BMP lose quality?

No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly.

Will the BMP keep the transparent background?

No. BMP can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).

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.
