Why Convert ICO to ICON file?

Both ICO and the icon format are used for application and system icons, but different systems and tools sometimes expect a particular icon file type. Converting ICO to an icon file re-packages your image into the icon form the target program or platform requires, so it can serve as a proper icon where a standard ICO might not fit.

Icons work best from a clean, roughly square graphic, and icon files can hold several sizes at once for crisp results everywhere. This conversion is handy when a specific application or operating system needs its icons in a particular form. For ordinary images, a standard format like PNG is the right choice, but for a system or app icon, this conversion provides the format it expects.
