Convert WebP images to ICO favicon format online

WebP to ICO converts Google's modern WebP image format into a standards-compliant favicon.ico file. WebP is widely used for its excellent compression and full transparency support, but the ICO format is still required by browsers, operating systems, and many site generators when specifying a favicon. This tool bridges that gap in seconds, with no software to install.

The converter decodes your WebP — including lossless WebP and WebP with alpha transparency — and embeds three icon sizes (16×16, 32×32, and 48×48 px) into a single ICO container. Non-square images are automatically center-cropped to square before scaling, so the output frames are always correctly proportioned. Animated WebP is accepted, and the first frame is used for the conversion.

Upload your WebP, click Convert, and receive a favicon.ico ready to drop into your website's root directory. Place it alongside your index.html and every browser will detect it as your site icon automatically. Your source file is deleted from our servers immediately after you download the result — free, private, no account needed.

Tips for WebP to ICO Conversion

  • Use a lossless WebP source for the clearest favicon frames — lossy WebP compression artifacts become more visible at small icon sizes.
  • Start with a square WebP image at 256×256 px or larger for the best downscaling results.
  • If your WebP has a transparent background, the ICO will too — great for dark-mode browser tabs.
  • Non-square WebP images are center-cropped to square automatically — crop manually first if you need precise control over which part of the image appears in the icon.

WebP to ICO FAQ

Why would I need to convert WebP to ICO?
WebP is an excellent format for web images but it is not supported as a favicon by all browsers and operating systems. Converting your WebP graphic to ICO ensures your favicon displays correctly everywhere — including older browsers and Windows desktop shortcuts.
Does the converter support animated WebP?
Animated WebP files are supported as input, but only the first frame is used for the ICO conversion. ICO files do not support animation.
Is alpha transparency preserved in the ICO output?
Yes. Both lossless and lossy WebP images with an alpha channel are decoded correctly, and the transparency information is embedded in every frame of the output ICO file.
What sizes does the converted ICO contain?
The output ICO embeds three frames: 16×16 px (browser tab), 32×32 px (taskbar and bookmarks), and 48×48 px (Windows desktop shortcut icon). All three are generated automatically from your WebP source.
Is my uploaded WebP file kept private?
Yes. Your WebP is processed on the server and deleted immediately after you download the ICO. No files are stored, logged, or shared.
