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

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

How to convert PNG to ICO using IrfenView:

  1. Download and Launch the software
  2. Go to File > Open and select your PNG image
  3. After opening the PNG, go to File > Save As
  4. In the Save as type dropdown, select ICO - Windows Icon
  5. Choose the destination folder and filename
  6. IrfenView will prompt you to select icon dimensions (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256)
  7. You can select one or multiple sizes if you want a multi-resolution icon
  8. Click OK to save
  9. The PNG will be converted and saved as an ICO file

Tips:
For best results, prepare your PNG with transparent background if you want transparent icons
You can batch convert multiple PNGs to ICOs using the Batch Conversion feature:
        Go to File > Batch Conversion/Rename
        Add your PNG files
        Set output format to ICO
        Configure icon sizes
        Click Start Batch
