WebP to ICO Conversion FAQ
Does WebP to ICO conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when ICO is PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or SVG. Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, pick a transparency-aware target instead of ICO. ICO is the Windows icon format, and it is the only image format browsers will accept at /favicon.ico.
Does converting WebP to ICO restore the quality that was lost?
+
No. The compression artefacts already baked into the WebP are ordinary pixel data now, and ICO preserves them perfectly rather than removing them. The file usually gets larger, sometimes several times larger. It is still worth doing before editing, because further edits will not stack a second generation of loss on top. ICO lets one file serve a taskbar, a file listing, a desktop shortcut and a browser tab without any of them looking resampled. WebP is still second-class outside the browser — print workflows, older Office builds and some phone galleries do not accept it.
My WebP is animated — what happens to the other frames?
+
Only the first frame survives, because ICO is a still format with nowhere to store the rest. If the animation matters, target a format that animates, or convert to a video container instead and keep the motion. ICO is not a general image format: it is square, small, and no photo editor treats it as a first-class working file.
What happens to EXIF metadata when converting WebP to ICO?
+
In most conversions, camera EXIF fields such as the camera model and GPS position are not carried into the ICO. There is no setting on this page to keep or remove metadata, so check the result with a metadata viewer if it matters.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of WebP files to ICO at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Are my WebP files private during conversion?
+
Yes. Uploaded WebP files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted ICO are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
