The two formats

.jpg · .jpeg

JPEG photoJoint Photographic Experts Group

Photographs for the web, email and cameras, where small files matter more than perfect detail.

Questions

How do I convert JPG to ICO?

Drop your JPG file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the ICO downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the photo editor.

Is my JPG file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Is my location removed?

Yes: the ICO is saved without camera details, so the location isn’t in it.

Can I convert several JPG files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every ICO inside.
