Why convert ICO to JPG?
ICO is the Windows icon container that bundles one or more small images used for favicons and application icons. JPG is a lossy format tuned for photographs, trading a little detail for dramatically smaller files.
JPG does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in your ICO are flattened onto a solid white background. Moving from ICO to JPG usually shrinks the file significantly thanks to JPG's efficient compression — great for websites, email, and saving storage. JPG opens on every device, browser, and app, which is frequently the whole reason to convert away from ICO.
Pixohub converts ICO to JPG entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many ICO files into JPG as you like. Reach for JPG whenever you need photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most.
ICO vs JPG: what to expect
ICO is best for favicons and Windows desktop icons, while JPG shines for photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most. Keep your original ICO if you may later need its transparency, and export a JPG copy for sharing and the web.
