How to convert WebP to ICO

  1. Add your WebP images

    Drop WebP files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. ICO is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the ICO, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

  • Free, without an account

WebP to ICO: what to expect

WebP is still rejected by plenty of desktop apps, older software and upload forms. ICO holds several sizes in one file, which is what favicons and Windows shortcuts need. WebP is at home in images on websites; ICO is the usual choice for website favicons and Windows app icons.

ICO holds a single still image, so an animated WebP does not stay animated. The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can pick which icon sizes go into the file.

If the WebP is animated, only its first frame is converted and the result is a still picture.

WebP vs ICO

WEBP

WebP image

WebP is Google's image format for the web. It is typically a quarter to a third smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports both transparency and animation. Browsers handle it well; older editors, printers' portals and some messaging apps do not.

Opens in All current browsers; many older desktop apps and upload forms do not accept it

WebP converter
ICO

Icon file

An ICO file bundles the same icon at several sizes, such as 16, 32 and 48 pixels, so Windows or a browser can pick the sharpest one. It is still the most compatible way to ship a favicon.

Opens in Windows and every browser (as favicon.ico)

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The WebP to ICO conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting WebP to ICO reduce quality?

The picture is scaled down: an icon file holds small square copies of it (16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels by default), so anything larger loses detail and a picture that is not square gets empty space around it. Each size is stored without further loss. You can pick the sizes under Options.

Can I convert several WebP files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert WebP to ICO on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the WebP file, press Convert and save the ICO. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
