What is an ICO File?
ICO (Icon) is a file format used for icons on Microsoft Windows and web browsers. Unlike other image formats, ICO files can contain multiple images at different sizes and color depths in a single file.
For websites, ICO files are primarily used as favicons - the small icons that appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars. Having multiple sizes in one ICO file ensures your favicon looks crisp at any display size.
Recommended ICO Sizes
16x16 px
Browser tabs and address bars. The most commonly displayed favicon size.
32x32 px
Taskbar icons on Windows, high-DPI browser tabs, and shortcut icons.
48x48 px
