Need help to convert png to ico on my windows 11 pc

Windows 11 does not have a build in PNG to ICO converter. However, you can use the online free one like ConvertICO.

ConvertICO is a free, web-based service that lets you convert png images to ico (Windows icon format) files. The ICO format is required when creating custom icons for apps, shortcuts, or folders in Windows 11.

Unlike installed software, ConvertICO runs in your browser, so you don’t need to download or configure anything. It also supports multi-size ICO files, which means you can pack different icon sizes (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 128×128, etc.) into a single file, ensuring your icon looks sharp in all Windows views (taskbar, desktop, file explorer, etc.).

How to Use ConvertICO on Windows 11

1. Open your browser (Edge, Chrome, or Firefox).

2. Go to ConvertICO.com.

3. Click “Browse” or “Choose File” to upload your PNG image.

4. Now, select icon sizes you want to include in the output.

5. Click Convert.

6. Once the PNG to ICO conversion process finishes, click Download to save the .ico file to your PC.

7. Right-click any folder or shortcut → Properties > Change Icon → choose your new .ico file.

No installation needed (browser-based).

Fast and easy, supports multiple icon sizes.

Free to use.

❌ Cons

Requires internet access.

Not ideal for sensitive images (you upload files to a third-party server).

No offline batch conversion.
