What you bring, what you leave with.
ICO
ICO is the Windows favicon format. Pixelmint wraps a PNG inside a single-frame ICO container — ideal for browser tabs and desktop shortcuts.
BMP
BMP is an uncompressed 24-bit Windows bitmap format. Files are large but pixel-perfect and trivial for any image library to read.
Why convert ICO to BMP.
Convert ICO to BMP to take advantage of BMP's better compatibility and ecosystem support.

Q.01How do I convert ICO to BMP?+
Drop your ICO file onto the converter above (or click to pick one), then hit Convert. Your BMP download starts the moment the encoder finishes — usually under a second. Nothing leaves your device.
Q.02Is converting ICO to BMP lossless?+
No. BMP uses lossy compression by default. You can tune the quality slider to trade file size for fidelity. Quality 90 is a good default that beats most online tools.
Q.03Will my ICO files be uploaded to a server?+
No. Pixelmint runs the entire conversion in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image bytes never touch our servers, which is why this is safe for confidential screenshots, IDs, and proprietary artwork.
Q.04Is there a file size limit?+
There's no hard limit, but very large images (over ~50 megapixels) can be slow on low-RAM devices because everything happens locally. Most browsers cap canvas size around 32,767 pixels per side.
Q.05Does it cost anything?+
No. ICO to BMP conversion is free, unlimited, and has no watermarks, signups, ads on the file, or hidden tiers.
