How to convert SVG to ICO
- Add your SVG. Drop the file in the box, or click to choose it. It becomes ICO straight away.
- Check the result. Look at the preview and the size. Change quality or size if you like; the file is made again as you go.
- Download. Press Download to save the ICO.
Turn an SVG logo into favicon.ico or a Windows icon. Every size inside is drawn from the vector, so even the 256 px one is sharp.
