What you get (ZIP package):
Drop JPG files here or click to browse
All processing stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Four steps, all running locally in your browser.
Drop your JPG files
One file or a whole batch. Nothing is uploaded, everything stays on your device.
Choose sizes to include
16 to 256px, defaults to 16, 32 and 48. Applies to whatever files are added from that point on.
Each file converts automatically
Stretched to fill each selected square size, a non-square JPG will look distorted in the result.

Full ZIP package (ICO, PNGs, HTML snippet), or just favicon.ico if that's all you need.
Favicons are tiny, 16x16 pixels at the browser tab. A complex photograph scaled to that size will look like an unrecognisable blur. Simple, bold graphics work far better. Here is how to get the best results from a JPEG source.
Use a square crop
ICO sizes are always square. A non-square JPG gets stretched to exactly fill each square size, not cropped, so it will look distorted. Crop your image to a square before converting for a clean, undistorted result.
Start with a high resolution
Use the largest version of your JPG as the source. The converter scales down to each size, so starting larger gives sharper results at 16x16 and 32x32.
Simple designs scale better
A logo, a letter, or a simple symbol reads clearly at small sizes. Fine details, text, or complex photography will not be recognisable at 16 pixels.
Consider PNG for transparency
JPEGs do not support transparent backgrounds. If you need a favicon with transparency, convert your JPG to PNG first, remove the background, then use the PNG to ICO converter.
Assuming the output is a single ICO file
By default it isn't. The tool produces a full ZIP package: favicon.ico, an individual PNG per size, and an HTML snippet. If you genuinely just want the one ICO file, use the separate favicon.ico only button instead of the main ZIP download.
Uploading a non-square JPG and expecting a clean crop
The source gets stretched to fill each square size, not cropped to preserve its proportions. A landscape or portrait photo will look visibly squished once forced into a square. Crop to a square before converting for an undistorted result.
Expecting transparency from a JPEG source
JPEG has no alpha channel, so the ICO keeps whatever solid background color the JPEG already has. Convert to PNG and remove the background first if you need real transparency.
Changing the size selection mid-batch and expecting it to apply retroactively
Each file locks in whatever sizes were selected at the exact moment it was dropped. If you change the selection partway through adding files, only the files added after that change use the new sizes.
Skipping 256x256 and needing it later for a desktop shortcut
Add 256x256 to the selection before converting if you might need a Windows desktop icon. There's no way to add a size to an already-generated package without converting the source again.
Not directly. Browsers do not accept raw JPEG files as favicons. The ICO format is required for the broadest browser compatibility. This tool converts your JPG to a proper ICO file with multiple sizes embedded, so it works in all browsers and operating systems.
By default you get a ZIP package containing favicon.ico (with every selected size embedded in one file), an individual PNG for each size you selected, and a README.html file with a ready-to-paste HTML snippet for your site's head section. There's also a Copy HTML snippet button if you'd rather not open the README file. If you only want the ICO itself, a separate favicon.ico only button downloads just that one file instead of the full package.
Complex photos and images with fine detail often do not scale well to 16x16 pixels. Simple, high-contrast designs with bold shapes or a single letter work best. If your JPG is a logo or graphic, it should scale acceptably. Use the preview to check before downloading.
The source image is stretched to exactly fill each square size you selected, it is not cropped to preserve its proportions. A landscape or portrait JPG will look visibly squished or stretched once forced into a square. Crop your source to a square before converting for a result that isn't distorted.
JPEG images do not have transparency, so the source image already has a solid background. The converted ICO will preserve whatever background color the JPEG has. If you want a transparent favicon, convert your image to PNG first using the JPG to PNG converter, remove the background, and then use the PNG to ICO converter.
Yes. Drop several JPG files at once and each one converts independently into its own favicon package. One thing to know: the sizes selected at the moment a file is dropped are what get used for that file. Changing the size selection after some files are already converted only affects files added afterward, not the ones already done.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your image is decoded, resized at each selected size, and packed into an ICO file entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
For a website favicon, the default selection of 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 already covers browser tabs, bookmarks and the Windows taskbar. Add 256x256 if you also need Windows desktop icon support.
No sign-up. No uploads. Drop your JPG above and download the package in seconds.
