Why convert ICO to JPG?
There are plenty of good reasons to convert ICO to JPG — here are the ones that matter most:
Transparency will be replaced with a solid background, because JPG doesn't support transparent areas.
JPG uses lossy compression, so the file gets much smaller — at a quality level you control.
JPG opens natively in virtually every app, browser and operating system, which makes it the safest choice for sharing.
Because all processing happens on your device, converted files are ready to download in seconds — even on slower connections.
