Why Convert JXL to ICO?

While JXL (JPEG XL) is a modern and versatile image format, ICO (Windows Icon) serves a very specific purpose:

  • Favicons: The primary use of ICO is for favicons (the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars). While modern browsers support PNG for favicons, ICO remains the most universally supported format, especially for older browsers or specific environments.
  • Windows Icons: ICO is the native format for icons on Windows operating systems (e.g., desktop shortcuts, application icons, folder icons).
  • Multiple Sizes in One File: An ICO file can contain multiple images of different resolutions and color depths, allowing the operating system or browser to pick the most appropriate size for display, ensuring crispness across various contexts.
  • Legacy Compatibility: For maximum compatibility across all platforms and devices, especially when dealing with older systems, ICO is often the safest choice for icons.

Key Features of This Converter

Flexible ICO Generation

  • • **Batch JXL to ICO:** Convert multiple JXL files into separate ICOs simultaneously.
  • • **Multiple ICO Sizes:** Select from a range of standard icon sizes (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256) to include in your single ICO file.
  • • **Transparency Control:** JXL supports transparency, and modern ICOs (using PNG compression internally) can preserve it. You can also choose to flatten transparency against a background color.

Customization & Control

  • • **Filename Customization:** Add prefixes or suffixes to your output ICO filenames.
  • • **Download Options:** Download files individually or as a ZIP archive.
  • • **Client-Side Processing:** All processing is done directly in your browser; files are not uploaded.

How to Convert JXL to ICO

  1. Upload JXL Files: Drag and drop your JXL images, or click to select files. The tool will decode them in your browser.
  2. Select ICO Sizes: Choose which icon sizes you want to include in the output ICO file. It's recommended to include at least 16x16, 32x32, and 256x256 for broad compatibility.
  3. Adjust Settings (Optional):
    • **Transparency:** Choose whether to preserve transparency (default) or flatten it with a background color.
    • **Naming:** Add a prefix or suffix for the output filenames.
  4. Convert: Click the Convert JXLs to ICO button.
  5. Download: Download your converted ICO files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JXL (JPEG XL)?

JXL (JPEG XL) is a royalty-free raster-graphics file format that supports both lossy and lossless compression. It is designed to be a universal image format, offering better compression than JPEG, GIF, and PNG, while also supporting features like animation, transparency (alpha channel), and progressive decoding.

Will the ICO file be larger than the original JXL?

Yes, almost certainly. ICO files contain multiple full-sized images (one for each selected size) and are not as efficiently compressed as JXL. The total size of the ICO file will be the sum of all the embedded images plus the ICO header and directory.

What happens to transparency in JXL files when converting to ICO?

Both JXL and modern ICOs (which can embed PNG data) support transparency. By default, this tool will preserve the transparency from your JXL file in the output ICO. You have an option to "Flatten Transparency" if you prefer to fill transparent areas with a solid background color.

Can I convert animated JXL files to ICO?

No. ICO is a static image format. If you upload an animated JXL, only the first frame of the animation will be processed and converted into the static ICO file.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image decoding and conversion are performed directly in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are not sent to any external server, ensuring your privacy and security.

Why does it take a moment to load JXL files?

Browsers do not natively support JXL. This tool uses a client-side WebAssembly library (`@jsquash/jxl`) to decode the JXL file into raw pixel data that the browser's canvas can understand. This decoding process happens entirely in your browser and can take a few seconds depending on the file size and the performance of your device. The WebAssembly module itself is loaded dynamically on demand.
