IrfenView is a popular free image viewer that also supports basic image editing and format conversions, including converting PNG to ICO files on Windows.

- After opening the PNG, go to File > Save As
- In the Save as type dropdown, select ICO - Windows Icon
- Choose the destination folder and filename
- IrfenView will prompt you to select icon dimensions (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256)
