How do I convert a PSD to an ICO file using this tool?

Upload your PSD file via the drag-and-drop area or click 'Choose File'. Select ICO as the target format and choose the desired icon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256). Click 'Convert' and download your ICO file once processing is complete. All layers are flattened automatically, and transparency is preserved.

Why should I convert PSD to ICO instead of using PNG or JPG?

PSD is a layered Photoshop document designed for editing, while ICO is a container format for Windows icons and favicons. ICO files bundle multiple resolutions in a single file, so your icon remains sharp at any size. Converting reduces file size and ensures compatibility with Windows desktop, browsers, and app launchers.

What happens to layers, transparency, and color when converting PSD to ICO?

During conversion, PSD layers are merged into a single raster image. Transparency is fully preserved via the alpha channel, and color profiles are converted to sRGB for predictable display across devices. Vector shapes are rasterized at the selected resolution. The ICO output contains multiple sizes (16 to 256 px) to support different display contexts, and the highest-res layer is downsampled for smaller sizes.
