Why convert ICO to JPG?
Need an icon or favicon as a normal picture for a document, presentation or directory listing? Converting ICO to JPG makes it usable in any app.
Does converting ICO to JPG affect quality or size?
An ICO can contain several sizes; Fylo extracts the largest — usually 256 × 256 or 48 × 48 — so the result is as sharp as possible. Transparent corners become white because JPG has no transparency.
What's the difference between ICO and JPG?
ICO is the Windows icon format and the classic favicon.ico. One ICO file holds several square images (16 to 256 px) so each screen can use the sharpest size.
JPG is the world's most common photo format. It uses lossy compression to keep photos small, but it has no transparency and loses a little detail every time it's re-saved.
