Windows ICO Container Architecture

The Windows Icon (.ico) file format is a container capable of holding multiple icon frames at different pixel resolutions within a single file. When Windows or a browser displays an .ico file, it automatically selects the sharpest frame for the current display scaling factor.

NexoPixel generates standard PNG-compressed ICO files containing 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and 256×256 frames, ensuring sharp rendering on standard displays and High-DPI screens.

Transparency & Square Fitting

Because icons require square aspect ratios (1:1), NexoPixel allows you to choose between 'Fit Entire Image' (preserving full logo aspect ratio centered with transparent padding) and 'Fill / Square Crop' (cropping to fill the entire square).

Alpha transparency from your source PNG or SVG is strictly preserved across every embedded frame.

Client-Side Zero-Dependency Encoding

NexoPixel constructs the binary ICO container directly in your browser using native JavaScript binary arrays. No files are uploaded to any external server.

Client-Side Privacy Architecture

For NexoPixel's standard browser-based image tools, processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to NexoPixel servers.
