Is my ICO file uploaded?

No. Your browser decodes the ICO and re-encodes it as JPG on your own device, so the image never reaches a server and the only limit is your device's memory.

Does converting ICO to JPG lose quality?

Slightly. JPG is a lossy format, so re-encoding costs a little quality even from a lossless source. At 90% the difference from the original ICO is rarely visible at normal viewing size.

Does JPG support transparency?

No. JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparency in the ICO is filled with the background colour you choose above rather than carried across.

Are the pixel dimensions changed?

No. A ICO at 4000×3000 becomes a JPG at 4000×3000 — only the encoding changes, not the number of pixels. Use the image resizer if you need to change the dimensions as well.

About this tool

Conversion happens in the page: the ICO file is decoded by your browser, redrawn, and re-encoded as JPG. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no queue and no copy of your image on someone else's machine. The practical ceiling is your own device's memory rather than a server's rules.

An ICO can hold several sizes and often has a transparent background; JPEG has no transparency, so anything transparent becomes white. PNG is usually the better target.

The image's pixel dimensions are unchanged — only the format and file size differ. To change the size as well, use the image resizer afterwards.

Common uses

Sending an image to software that will not accept ICO.
