ICO Editor

Open an existing .ico file, see every size stored inside it, save any of them as a PNG, and add or remove sizes before saving a new icon. Everything happens in your browser, so the icon is never uploaded.

How it works

What happens to your file.

The ICO directory is read in your browser and every entry is checked against the image it points to. PNG entries are shown as they are; bitmap entries are decoded from their colour data and transparency mask, including the palette formats older Windows tools write. New sizes are drawn from the source you choose, and the saved icon is read back before download so it always opens.

Where it stops: Adding a size larger than the biggest image in the icon enlarges it, which looks soft; add large sizes from a bigger picture instead. An .ico can only hold square images up to 256 px, so non-square or larger entries can be saved as PNG but are left out of the new icon. Compressed bitmap entries, which are very rare, cannot be decoded.

Questions

Common questions.

How do I open an .ico file?

Drop it on this page. Every size inside it is listed with a preview, so you can see the icon without installing an icon editor.

Can I convert ICO to PNG?

Yes. Download any single size as a PNG, or every size at once in a ZIP. Transparency is kept.

Can I add a size to an existing icon?

Yes. Pick the missing sizes and make them from the largest image already in the icon, or from a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG you choose.

Is my icon uploaded?

No. The file is read and saved entirely in your browser.

What is the difference from ICO Converter?

ICO Converter makes a new icon from an image. ICO Editor opens an icon you already have and changes what is inside it.
