Frequently Asked Questions
An ICO can hold several sizes — which one do I get?
The browser decodes the best (largest, highest-color) image in the icon, which is almost always the one you want for editing. If you need a specific smaller size afterwards, run the PNG through our Resize Image tool.
Why convert an icon to PNG?
Image editors, documents and websites mostly don't accept .ico files as regular images. As PNG, the icon opens in any editor, keeps its transparency, and can be recolored, upscaled or dropped into designs.
Is it safe to convert icons online?
Yes. Unlike traditional online converters, this tool never uploads your files. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so icons never leave your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Is this converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no file-per-day limits. Because conversion happens on your own device, there are no server costs to pass on to you.

Who we are — and what we refuse to do
We're a small team that got tired of "free" converters treating your files as the product.
So we built Converting Free the only way we'd trust ourselves: the whole toolbox — image, document and archive converters, compressors, time-zone and unit tools, calculators and text utilities — does its work on your device. Open your browser's network tab while you convert something; you'll watch nothing leave.
We don't run ads, we don't set tracking cookies, and we don't operate a server that stores files. That isn't a privacy-policy promise — it's how the site is engineered. There is simply nowhere for your data to go.
Why we built it
Search for "convert X to Y" and the top results usually want something from you before they'll lift a finger:
- —Your file, uploaded to a server you know nothing about
- —Your patience, spent on queues, captchas and "premium speed" upsells
- —Your data, harvested by the trackers stacked beneath the ads
We think a converter should be a tool, not a trade.
Ours takes nothing from you: no uploads, no accounts, no tracking.
