How to convert ICO to PNG
- Choose or drop one or more ICO files above.
- Conversion starts right away. Resize first if you need different dimensions.
- Download each PNG, or save them all as a ZIP.
Why convert ICO to PNG?
An ICO file holds the same icon at several sizes, which is handy for Windows and browsers but awkward for editing. PNG is a normal picture format, so design tools, documents and websites can use it directly, and it keeps transparent backgrounds.
Which size do you get?
Your browser decides which image inside the ICO to open, and it normally picks the largest. That gives you the sharpest version, often 256 by 256 pixels. If you need a specific smaller size, convert first and then use the image resizer.
What stays the same
- Transparency is kept, so icons keep clean see-through edges.
- The picture is not changed. PNG is lossless.
- Only one size is saved, not every size in the ICO file.

Privacy, speed and file names
Every ICO file is opened and saved as PNG inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded and conversion starts right away. Speed depends on your device, not your connection. Results are named after the original with “-tech9pros” added, so your originals are never overwritten. Only the largest size inside the ICO file is saved.
Converting many files
Select up to 30 files at once and download them one by one or as a single ZIP. If you change a setting, the files are converted again with the new value, so you can try a different quality without adding them again.
If something goes wrong
If a file will not open, it may be damaged or a rare ICO variant. Try re-exporting the icon from its source.
