How do I convert a WMZ file to ICO on this website?

Drag your WMZ file into the upload area, pick ICO as the target format, and select one or more icon sizes (16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256 px). Click 'Convert'—our tool decompresses the WMZ, rasterizes the vector data with anti-aliasing, and packs the PNG frames into a single .ico file. Then download the icon.

Why would I convert WMZ to ICO instead of keeping it as WMZ?

WMZ files are compressed Windows Metafiles used mainly for vector clip art in legacy apps or clipboard images. Windows icons require raster ICO at specific sizes, and most modern programs, browsers, and icon editors cannot read WMZ. Converting to ICO gives you a standard icon file you can use for desktop shortcuts, taskbars, and favicons, with full transparency and DPI-aware scaling.

How are vector curves, transparency, and DPI handled when converting WMZ to ICO?

The WMZ's vector paths are rendered at the exact pixel size of your chosen ICO resolution, so curves remain smooth at 256×256 but not at 16×16 if you choose tiny sizes. Transparent areas in the WMZ become an alpha channel in the ICO (32-bit true color). Text and gradients are flattened to bitmaps; any embedded raster images in the WMZ are not artificially sharpened—they stay at their source resolution. We also preserve DPI metadata so Windows can scale the icon correctly.
