Yes, you can use the 'Extract Size' option to select a specific resolution like 32x32 or 256x256, or choose 'Auto' to use the largest available size. ### Why does the output require a background color? JPG files do not support transparency. The tool allows you to set a custom background color to replace the transparent areas of your original icon. ### What is the difference between standard JPEG and MozJPEG? MozJPEG is an advanced encoder that provides better compression and smaller file sizes while maintaining high visual quality. ### Is there a limit to the file size I can upload? Yes, the maximum file size for uploads is 5MB. ### Can I convert multiple files at once? This tool is designed to process one ICO file at a time to ensure precise control over individual conversion settings. ## Related tools - [Convert ARW to JPEG](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/arw-to-jpg): Convert Sony ARW RAW files to JPEG format.
