What the pros know

Pro Tip

An ICO can hold several sizes of the same icon. If one looks wrong, the file may contain a poorly made size; check it in an icon editor.

Common Mistake

Converting an ICO to HTML to use as a favicon. Browsers use the .ico file directly.

Best For

Viewing an icon file on a device without an icon editor.

Not Recommended

Not for setting a favicon. Link the .ico file in your page head instead.

An icon file in a page

ICO is the Windows icon and favicon format, and browsers can display it. We put the ICO into the HTML page unchanged, and the page shows it centred and fitted to the window. Icons are small, often 16 to 256 pixels, so don't expect more detail than the file holds.

How to convert ICO to HTML

Using an ICO as a favicon

To set a site icon, you don't need an HTML conversion. Put the file at your site root and add <link rel='icon' href='/favicon.ico'> to the page head. For other ICO conversions, see the ICO converter, including ICO to PDF.
