JPG to ICO Favicon Converter
A JPG logo or image can be converted into an ICO favicon, but the result usually looks best when the source image is square, simple, and high contrast.
Use the free Image to ICO ConverterStart with a square crop
Favicons are displayed as squares in most places. Cropping the source image before conversion helps avoid awkward stretching or empty space.
Avoid tiny details
Detailed photos or complex graphics can become blurry at 16x16 or 32x32. A simplified version of the image usually works better.
Generate multiple ICO sizes
Including several sizes in the ICO file helps browsers choose a sharper version for different contexts.
