PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, WebP, SVG or ICO · up to 20 MB

  1. 1. Upload your image. JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, WebP, SVG and ICO.
  2. 2. Crop. Move the square anywhere, drag a corner to resize it. Scroll, pinch or use the slider to zoom the image and drag the image to pan. The square may extend past the image — that area becomes transparent padding. ICO files skip this step.
  3. 3. Choose the sizes to fill. At least one.
  4. 4. Click Import.

How your icon renders in real Windows contexts. Sizes you have not drawn are scaled from the nearest larger one, the way Windows does it.

Sizes to include

Empty sizes are filled from the nearest larger drawn size so the .ICO is complete. The background colour and corners set under the canvas are included; choose the checkerboard for a transparent icon. 256×256 is stored PNG-compressed.
