What to expect

  • Transparency is lost because JPEG has no alpha channel; transparent pixels become a solid fill.
  • The multiple sizes packed in an ICO are reduced to a single image in the output.
  • JPEG is lossy, so the re-encode can add slight artifacts, especially around the crisp edges of icon art.

Frequently asked questions

What quality can I expect from ICO to JPEG?
JPEG uses lossy compression, so the icon is re-encoded with a slight quality loss; for small, sharp-edged icon art this can introduce faint blocking artifacts around edges.
Why convert an ICO to JPEG?
JPEG opens on every operating system without extra software, so it is a convenient way to view or share an icon's artwork as an ordinary image.
What happens to transparency?
JPEG does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in the ICO are filled with a solid background color rather than staying see-through.
Which size is used from the ICO?
An ICO can hold several sizes of the same image; a conversion typically takes one of them (commonly the largest) and turns it into a single JPEG.
