Examples

1. Web Developer Favicon Conversion

Web Developer

Background

A developer has a legacy 256x256 ICO file that needs to be used as a standard PNG favicon on a website.

Problem

The browser requires a PNG format, and the original file is too large for web performance standards.

How to use

Upload the ICO file, set the output width and height to 64px, and set the compression level to 9.

width: 64, height: 64, compressionLevel: 9, preserveTransparency: true

Outcome

A perfectly resized, highly compressed 64x64 PNG file ready for web deployment.

2. UI Asset Extraction

Graphic Designer

Background

A designer needs to extract a specific 48x48 icon from a multi-size ICO file to use in a presentation.

Problem

The ICO file contains multiple layers, and the designer needs to isolate the 48x48 version.

How to use

Upload the ICO file and select '48' from the 'Extract Size' dropdown menu.

extractSize: 48, preserveTransparency: true

FAQ

Does this tool support transparency?

Yes, the tool preserves the original transparency of your ICO file by default.

Can I extract specific sizes from a multi-size ICO?

Yes, you can use the 'Extract Size' option to select a specific resolution like 32x32 or 256x256.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

You can upload ICO files up to 5MB in size.

How does the compression level affect the output?

A higher compression level (up to 9) results in a smaller file size, while lower levels provide faster processing.
