No account is required. Choose a file and work directly in this browser.

Processing runs in your browser. Local files are not uploaded to a ResizeNest processing server. With URL import, your browser connects directly to the source website; ResizeNest does not relay the file. Direct URL import works only when the source website allows cross-origin reading.

The source stays on this device. The ICO is created locally in your browser.

ICO sizes

Transparent padding stays transparent; the image is contained without stretching.

Private by design

image processing stays in your browser. ResizeNest does not need your original image uploaded to an application server.

Real output

Results come from the actual processing pipeline, with measured dimensions, bytes and format instead of placeholder estimates.

Simple workflow

A focused single-image workspace keeps the controls clear and the result easy to verify.

Useful details

Built for a clear, predictable result

Understand what the tool does before you download the result.

01

A real ICO container

ResizeNest writes the ICO header, directory, offsets and embedded PNG entries instead of renaming a PNG file to .ico.

02

Multiple icon sizes

Select 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixel entries so operating systems and browsers can choose an appropriate representation.

03

Local and transparent

PNG alpha is preserved through transparent square padding, and source bytes stay on your device throughout the conversion.

Move between tasks without uploading your source images to ResizeNest.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is the result really an ICO file?

Yes. The container directory is generated and validated before ResizeNest offers the download.

Will a non-square PNG be stretched?

No. The image is contained proportionally inside a square canvas.

Is my PNG uploaded?

No. Rendering and ICO packaging run locally in your browser.
