Free online PGM→ICO converter. Fast, private, no sign-up.
Going from PGM to ICO takes a couple of clicks: drop the file in, download the result. Drop in your PGM file (a .pgm) and download a ready-to-use ICO file (a .ico) — no software to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the output.
PGM is an image format. Converting to or from it lets you use the same picture in apps and on platforms that expect a different format.
ICO is the Windows icon format — it packs several small sizes into one file and is what browsers request as a favicon.
Most people convert PGM to ICO for compatibility — a website, app or device insists on ICO, and PGM simply won't open. ICO is widely supported, which makes it a dependable target. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.
Because PGM is uncompressed, the ICO you get back will typically be dramatically smaller. Unlike PGM, ICO supports transparency, so it's a good target if you later need a cut-out.
It comes up when publishing online, submitting to a service with strict format rules, or archiving a collection in a single consistent format.
Privacy is the default here. Your PGM file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
