WebP to ICO processes files locally in your browser.
What WebP to ICO conversion does
Convert a WebP image to a Windows ICO icon directly in your browser. Generate a single size, or the default multi-size package covering 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, and 256 px in one .ico file.
How to convert WebP to ICO
- Choose a WebP file.
- Pick a single icon size, or leave the default multi-size package selected.
- Select Convert & download.
- Save the .ico file from your browser downloads.
Why use this conversion
ICO is the format Windows expects for application icons, desktop shortcuts, and favicons. A single square image can be turned into a real, multi-resolution .ico file ready to use.
Transparency and output quality
Each embedded size keeps the source’s alpha channel — this is a real ICO container (ICONDIR plus one entry per size), with each size embedded as genuine PNG-compressed image data, not a renamed bitmap. Each icon entry uses PNG compression, so a single-size ICO stays small; the multi-size package is larger since it bundles six images.
Privacy and local processing
- Processing occurs locally in the browser.
- Files are not uploaded to Looty Tools for conversion.
- Converted files remain on your device.
Limits and known issues
- Input: WebP (.webp) only, up to 25.0 MB and 8,192 px per side.
- Each icon size is generated by resizing the full image to a square canvas, so a non-square source will be stretched to fit.
- Animated WebP: only the first frame is converted to ICO. Animation is not preserved, and exact frame selection depends on your browser's decoder.
- Metadata is not preserved in the downloaded file.
