  • Generate the multi-size icon Windows and browsers expect

About the PNG and ICO formats

PNG

PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.

ICO

ICO is the Windows icon format. A single .ico file bundles multiple sizes (16, 32, 48, 256 pixels) so the OS can pick the right one. The web equivalent is favicon.ico, still respected by every browser. For app icons today most designers ship PNG plus SVG, but ICO is mandatory for legacy desktop apps.
