If you are looking for a way of converting your Image to *.ico format ( icon file), you are probably at the right place. Normal image files comes with various formats like *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.bmp which are vector (composed of drawing paths) or bitmap (composed of pixels) pictures. Every type of format has its own different properties (animated, layered, vectors, compressed, etc) and can be used to contain image of various type, resolution and size.

My most favorite online tool to convert pictures or documents is cloudconvert.org. I found it the most convenient of its kind.

1. Hit cloudconvert.org using your browser. Click “Select Files” (or from right drop-down arrow, you can choose files from remote URL, Google drive or Dropbox). Now choose the image file you want to convert to icon. CloudConvert supports wide range of files.

2. Now after you selected your image, hit “select format” under “Select Output Format” section. Then choose “ico” under “image” section.



3. After the conversion is finished, you should be presented a “Download” button. Hit the button to download the newly converted file directly to your system.
