PNG to ICO in Photoshop:

If you have a PNG image that you would like to convert to an ICO file in Photoshop, there are a few simple steps that you can take.

First, open the PNG image in Photoshop.

Next, select the “Image” menu option and select “Convert to ICO.”

PRO TIP: When converting PNG to ICO in Photoshop, it is important to note that the image quality may suffer due to the compression that is inherent in the ICO format. Additionally, transparency information may be lost in the conversion process.

This will open the “Convert to ICO” dialog box.

You will need to provide a few basic information about the PNG image, including the resolution of the image, the color mode, and the file format.

Once you have provided this information, the “Convert to ICO” dialog box will automatically generate the ICO file.

You can then save the ICO file to your computer.

Alternatively, you can convert the PNG to ICO format through the Save As option. Simply go to File>Save As, and in the Save as type menu, select Bitmap or BMP for short.

Save as BMP file type

Next, select 24 Bit or 32 Bit in the BMP Options dialog box and click Ok.

Select 24 bit BMP options

Then, in the file name, make sure it has an extension name of “.ico” before clicking Save.

Make sure to put .ico as name extension

Finally, check your File and see the differences between the PNG and ICO formats. Take note: The image quality may suffer due to the compression inherent in the ICO format.
