ICO to SVG Converter

Runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

Turn a Windows icon (.ico) into an SVG, two ways. OkConverter takes the highest-resolution image your icon contains and either embeds it in a clean SVG container with the correct dimensions and viewBox — every pixel preserved — or traces it into real vector paths you can edit and scale infinitely. Embed suits small pixel-drawn glyphs; trace suits the large 256×256 entries that started life as a logo. The conversion happens locally in your browser; your file is never uploaded.

How to convert ICO to SVG

  1. 1

    Drop your .ico file onto the box, or click to choose one.

  2. 2

    Choose Embed to keep the pixels exactly, or Trace for real vector paths.

  3. 3

    Click “Convert”, then “Download” to save your .svg file.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Embed and Trace?+

Embed puts the icon’s image inside an SVG container unchanged — every pixel is preserved exactly, and the file scales in a layout but stays a bitmap underneath. Trace redraws the artwork as real <path> geometry, so it is a true vector you can edit and scale infinitely, but the shapes are the tracer’s approximation rather than your original pixels.

Which one should I pick?+

Embed for small icons. A 16×16 or 32×32 glyph was drawn pixel by pixel on that grid, and tracing turns those deliberate hard edges into approximate curves. Trace for the large entries — modern .ico files often carry a 256×256 image that started life as a logo, and tracing gives you usable vector paths back.

Will the SVG keep transparency?+

Yes. The embedded image is a PNG with full transparency, so the SVG renders transparent areas correctly.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. Everything runs in your browser on your device — your icon is never uploaded.
