Why convert EPS to ICO?

Converting EPS to ICO allows you to turn scalable vector logos into icon files with multiple sizes, suitable for Windows applications, favicons, and UI elements.

Can ICO files contain multiple image sizes?

Yes, ICO files act as containers for multiple icon images at different sizes and color depths, letting the system choose the best fit.

Are there any limitations converting EPS to ICO?

Yes, EPS must be rasterized into bitmap images for ICO, resulting in loss of scalability and potential issues with complex vector features.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure your EPS vector artwork is optimized and flattened if it contains complex effects before conversion
Check the ICO output in different Windows contexts to confirm correct icon display
Keep icon sizes small and clear to avoid loss of detail when rasterizing vector art
Use multiple resolution variants in ICO files to support various display requirements
Preview and edit rasterized versions as needed for best visual results

Limitations

EPS files must be rasterized when converting to ICO, so icons lose infinite scalability
Complex EPS features like live transparency may not translate well into small icon bitmaps
ICO format is designed for small images and not suitable for large or photographic artwork
Older icon versions and some viewers may have limited transparency and alpha support
Inconsistent handling of PNG-compressed ICO images by some tools can reduce compatibility
