FAQ

Can I choose a specific size from a multi-size ICO file?

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.
