Important to know
Create a 256 × 256 ICO icon from a PNG image.
The image is scaled to fit within a transparent 256 × 256 square. Small source images may look soft when enlarged.
Formula and methodology
The PNG is proportionally resized to a 256 × 256 canvas and embedded as PNG data inside an ICO container.
Example
A rectangular logo is centered with transparent padding in the resulting square icon.
Frequently asked questions
Will the icon be stretched?
No. The aspect ratio is preserved; empty space is padded transparently.
