Upload the ICO file to your website's root folder and add <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico"> to your HTML.

9Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No, because JPG already lost some quality during compression. Converting to PNG won't bring back the lost details, but it will prevent further quality loss if you edit the file again.
10Can I convert JPG to WebP without losing quality?
Yes, you can choose lossless WebP encoding, but the file will be larger. Lossy WebP gives much smaller files with very little visible difference.

For maximum quality, keep the quality slider at 100%. Larger files may take slightly longer, but the result will be crystal-clear. Our converter automatically strips unnecessary metadata to reduce file size without losing visual fidelity.
