JPEG is the world's most popular photo format. Using lossy compression, JPG can shrink photo files by up to 10x without noticeable visual change, making it the standard for digital cameras, phone galleries, and the web. However, JPG isn't always ideal — especially when you need ICO.
ICO brings the advantage: Standard Windows icon & browser favicon, auto-generated at the right size.
With FORMATTO, you can convert JPG to ICO in seconds. Everything runs 100% on your device — files are never uploaded to any server, so your privacy is guaranteed. Did you know? JPEG was invented in 1992 and remains the most widely used photo format on the internet today.
