What changes
3What happens, and why
ICO is the format for Windows icons and website favicons. It holds several small sizes, such as 16, 32, 48 and 256 px, in one file. It is needed only for making a favicon. Nobody keeps photographs in it. JPG is the lossy compression format for photographs. It opens everywhere and cannot store a transparent background.
JPG has no transparency, so the transparent parts of the ICO are filled with white. If you need a transparent background, choose WebP or PNG instead.
The file is opened and converted inside this browser and never sent to a server. JPG is a lossy format, so the image is compressed once at quality 92. The difference is hard to see, but the result is not identical to the source, and the badge next to it says so. Camera metadata (EXIF) is not carried over, so no location data remains in the result. You can add several files at once.
FAQ
3Does the quality get worse
JPG is a lossy format, so the image is compressed once. Quality 92 is hard to tell apart on screen, but it is not identical to the source.
What happens to a transparent background
JPG cannot store transparency. Transparent areas are filled with white. If you need a transparent background, choose PNG or WebP.
Where does my file go
Nowhere. The conversion finishes inside this browser, and camera metadata (EXIF, location) is not carried into the result.
