ICO to JPG Converter

Convert ICO icon files to JPG. The largest image in the file is used, on a white background.

This converter turns an ICO icon file into a JPG. It takes the largest image stored in the icon, places it on a white background and saves it as a JPG that any document, slide or upload form will accept. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is not uploaded.

How to Convert ICO to JPG

  1. Choose the files: drop your .ico files on the converter, or click it and select them.
  2. Let it convert: there is no button to press. A JPG is made from every icon straight away.
  3. Save the result: download a single JPG, or take the whole batch in one ZIP file.

If the icon has a transparent background or you plan to edit it, the ICO to PNG Converter is the better choice, because PNG keeps both the transparency and the sharp edges. Choose JPG when a site or program accepts nothing else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an ICO file to JPG?

Add the .ico file to the converter above and download the JPG. You can add several icons and download them together as a ZIP.

What happens to the transparent background?

JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. If you need the background to stay transparent, convert to PNG instead.

Which size from the icon is converted?

The largest one in the file. An icon usually holds several sizes, and the converter takes the one with the most pixels.

Why does my JPG look small or blurry?

Icons are small pictures. Many hold nothing larger than 48 or 256 pixels, and a JPG made from one is the same size. Viewing it enlarged makes it look soft. JPG compression also blurs the hard edges that icons are made of, which PNG does not.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The icon is converted by your browser on your own device.
