WebP to ICO converter
Turn a WebP image into a real multi-size .ico for a favicon or Windows icon. Pick the sizes, fit or crop to square, and download. It all happens in your browser.
WebP to ICO: what to know
WebP is Google’s image format, common for images saved from websites. Browsers can show WebP favicons, but Windows, many tools and the automatic /favicon.ico request expect a real .ico, so converting is still the safe choice.
Transparency
Lossless and lossy WebP can both carry an alpha channel. The converter keeps it, so transparent corners stay transparent in every size inside the .ico.
Tips for a sharp icon
- Images saved from the web are often small (under 256 px). Check the 256 px slot in the preview: if it looks soft, leave 256 unticked.
- Animated WebP files are converted from their first frame.
- If the WebP is a wide banner, choose “Crop to square” and keep only the symbol.
Need the whole favicon set (SVG, Apple touch icon, Android icons, manifest)? Drop the same file into the favicon generator. Other converters: PNG to ICO, JPG to ICO, SVG to ICO, GIF to ICO, BMP to ICO, AVIF to ICO.
Questions people ask
How do I convert WebP to ICO?
Drop the .webp file into the converter, choose the icon sizes (16, 32 and 48 px for a favicon), and click Download .ico. Your browser decodes the WebP and writes the .ico locally; nothing is uploaded.
Can I use a WebP image as a favicon directly?
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display a WebP linked with rel="icon", but Windows shortcuts, older browsers, feed readers and Google’s favicon crawler handle ICO, PNG and SVG more reliably. Convert to .ico (and PNG) for the widest support.
Does converting WebP to ICO keep transparency?
Yes. Each size is stored as a 32-bit PNG inside the .ico, with the WebP’s alpha channel intact.
