WEBP to ICO
Got your logo as a WEBP? Turn it into a favicon.ico with a transparent background and three sizes inside.
WEBP to ICO for favicons from modern logos
Logos are increasingly stored as WEBP, particularly when you've pulled them from a website or a CMS media library. Favicons, on the other hand, still commonly use the ICO format that browsers have recognized for decades. This WEBP to ICO converter takes you from one to the other in a click.
Because both formats handle transparency, your icon keeps its clean edges and works on any tab color.
How to convert WEBP to ICO
It takes a second, and you don't need any design software.
- 1
Choose the WEBP logo
Select a square .webp image, preferably one with a transparent background and at least 256 pixels wide.
- 2
Make the icon
Press Convert to ICO, and the image is scaled down to three icon sizes inside a single file.
- 3
Install it on your site
Save the download as favicon.ico in your website's root folder, then refresh to check it.
What's inside the ICO
| Icon size | Where you'll see it |
|---|---|
| 16 × 16 | Tabs and bookmarks |
| 32 × 32 | Tabs on sharper screens and the Windows taskbar |
| 48 × 48 | Site shortcuts, and a size Google can use |
The browser picks the most suitable size automatically, so you only need one file.
Making your favicon easy to recognize
- Use only the symbol. A full logo with text disappears at 16 pixels. If your WEBP has both, crop it down to the symbol using Resize Image.
- Fill the frame. Empty padding around your logo makes it look small in the tab. Crop close to the edges.
- Choose a strong color. Light gray or fine lines vanish against a pale tab. Bold shapes stand out.
- Test both themes. Look at it in light and dark browser modes, since a dark logo can disappear on a dark tab.
Getting the full set of icons
An ICO handles browsers, but not phone home screens. If you'd like an Apple touch icon and separate PNG favicons as well, upload your WEBP to the favicon generator. To make the icons from a different format, there's PNG to ICO and JPG to ICO.
Adding it to your website
Upload the file to the root of your site as favicon.ico, and most browsers will find it on their own. For more reliable results, add a link tag to the head section of your pages. Browsers cache favicons heavily, so if the old icon stays visible, check in a private window.
Private and free
No sign-up, no watermark and no upload. The icon is created on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Transparency in the WEBP carries over to every icon size in the file, so the favicon looks right on light and dark tabs.
Many modern ones can, but support is less consistent, and some tools and crawlers still look for /favicon.ico. Converting gives you the most compatible option.
It's fitted within a square without being cropped, with empty space added at the sides or top and bottom. Crop it first for an icon that fills the space.
