About the ICO to PNG Converter
The Img Stop ICO to PNG Converter turns Windows icons, favicons and cursor files into normal PNG images that open everywhere. It reads every picture inside the .ico – often 16, 32, 48 and 256 px – and saves each size as a separate PNG with its transparent background.
Use it to get a logo back out of a favicon.ico, to edit an icon in any photo editor, or to use an icon on a website or in a document. Several files at once are converted in one go and downloaded as a ZIP. Everything happens in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert ICO to PNG?
Drop the .ico file on the Img Stop ICO to PNG Converter, choose all sizes or the largest, and click Convert to PNG. Download the PNG files or a ZIP.
Why do I get several PNG files from one ICO?
An .ico file usually holds the same icon in different sizes so Windows and browsers can pick the best one. Each size is saved as its own PNG. Choose “Largest only” if you need just one.
Is the transparent background kept?
Yes. Icons with a transparent background become PNG files with the same transparency.
Can I convert a favicon.ico from a website?
Yes. Save the favicon.ico to your device (open example.com/favicon.ico and save it), then drop it on the converter.
Does it work with cursor (.cur) files?
Yes. Cursor files use the same format as icons, so they convert the same way.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and the files stay on your device.
