Why convert ICO to PNG?
Extracting a favicon or app icon as PNG is the standard way to reuse it in design tools, documentation, app listings or slide decks — PNG keeps the transparent background that icons rely on.
Does converting ICO to PNG affect quality or size?
Fylo reads every image inside the ICO, picks the largest and saves it as a lossless PNG with full alpha. Both PNG-compressed (Windows Vista and later) and classic bitmap ICO entries are supported.
What's the difference between ICO and PNG?
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.
PNG is a lossless format with full transparency. It keeps every pixel exact, which makes it ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics — but photos saved as PNG are large.
