Supported SVGs and limits
This tool renders static, self-contained SVG markup with the SVG namespace. Shapes, paths, text, gradients and local paint references can be rendered by your browser. Supply positive width and height in pixels, or a valid viewBox.
Input is limited to 2 MB (2,097,152 bytes). Source dimensions and output dimensions are limited to 4096 px per side and 16 million pixels total. These are this tool’s limits, not a promise of browser compatibility.
Scripts, animation, external resources, embedded images, links, foreignObject, use elements, style blocks and style attributes are rejected. Use SVG presentation attributes such as fill and stroke instead. Text uses fonts available on your device; an unavailable font may change its appearance. For consistent lettering, export text as paths before converting.
Creates one transparent 256 × 256 icon. The artwork is centered without changing its aspect ratio.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert SVG to ICO without uploading it?
Yes. This SVG to ICO converter processes the file in your browser. Conversion needs no account and sends no SVG to a server.
Why does my SVG look different?
The browser renders the supported SVG markup. Missing device fonts can change text; unsupported content is rejected with an error. Check the preview before downloading.
Can I convert ICO to SVG here?
No. ICO to SVG is the reverse conversion and needs a different tool. This page converts SVG into ICO.
Why is my SVG rejected?
Check the file size, dimensions and SVG syntax, then review the unsupported content listed above. An error means no output has been created. Files containing external resources cannot be converted here.
