ICO vs WebP: What Changes?
ICO is the icon format used for website icons (favicons) and Windows icons. One .ico file can hold several icon sizes. Converting to WebP makes the picture much smaller for websites while keeping it sharp.
| ICO | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Favicons & Windows icons | Websites & online shops |
| File size | Tiny | Very small |
| See-through background | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | No | Possible |
| Opens on | Browsers, Windows, icon editors | All modern browsers; some old apps can't |

Tips for Converting ICO to WebP
- An .ico file can hold several sizes — the tool uses the biggest, sharpest one.
- Use WebP for website images. For forms and email, JPG is the safer choice.
