ICO: Icon format for favicons and Windows application icons. PNG: Lossless format with transparency support. Best for screenshots, logos, and graphics. Converting from ICO to PNG is useful when you need the specific advantages of the PNG format — whether that's compatibility, file size, quality, or feature support.
The tool reads your ICO image data, decodes it, and re-encodes it in PNG format. Image dimensions and content are preserved during conversion. If converting between lossy formats (like JPG), there may be a small quality change. Lossless formats (like PNG) preserve every pixel exactly.
