Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

ICO Converter can extract icons from three file types: .ICO (Windows icon files containing multiple icon sizes), .DLL (Dynamic Link Library files with embedded icon resources), and .EXE (Windows executable files with application icons). This covers virtually all sources of Windows icons.

The software extracts all standard Windows icon sizes including 16×16, 24×24, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 96×96, 128×128, 256×256 and 512×512 pixels. Any non-standard sizes embedded in the source files are also extracted and available for export.

Yes, you can extract icons from any DLL file including Windows system libraries like Shell32.dll, ImageRes.dll, DDORes.dll and others. These files contain hundreds of system icons that can be extracted and exported to PNG, BMP or ICO format.

Yes, full alpha channel transparency is preserved when exporting to PNG or ICO formats. This includes both fully transparent areas and semi-transparent pixels. BMP format does not support transparency, so transparent areas will appear as a solid background color.

Yes, ICO Converter supports batch processing. You can add multiple ICO, DLL or EXE files individually, or select an entire folder to process all supported files at once. All extracted icons are organized by source file for easy identification.

You can export extracted icons in three formats: PNG (best for web and design with transparency), ICO (Windows icon format for application development), and BMP (bitmap format for legacy compatibility). Each format serves different use cases.

No, ICO Converter is a desktop application that works completely offline. Your files are processed locally on your computer and never uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security for your icon extraction tasks.

The free trial allows you to preview all extracted icons but limits export to the first 5 icons per source file. The full licensed version removes this restriction, allowing unlimited icon extraction and export from any number of files.
