Favicon-friendly format for apps, sites, and shortcuts.

This converter keeps everything local in your browser, so there are no upload size limits imposed by a server.

Why convert BMP to ICO?

BMP is best for: Legacy software and print pipelines that require uncompressed pixel-perfect data.

ICO is best for: Favicons and app shortcuts that need a multi-resolution icon file.

BMP trade-off: BMP preserves every pixel exactly, but the file sizes are much larger than compressed formats.

ICO trade-off: ICO is purpose-built for favicons, not for general image sharing.

Converting BMP to ICO lets you match the file to where it will be used — smaller shares for the web, lossless masters for editing, or transparent assets for design.

All of this runs locally in your browser, so your BMP files are never uploaded to a server.
