Don't just slap any JPG image through the conversion process without considering its size. Icons come in specific dimensions like 16x16, 32x32, and 256x256 pixels. If you use a super high-res image and don’t resize it, you’ll end up with a bloated ICO file that takes forever to load in applications. Use a simple tool like Paint (it comes with Windows) to resize your image before converting jpg to ico on Windows 10.

Right-click, select “Properties,” and check it out under the “Customize” tab. Make sure it looks crisp and clear at various sizes.
