Two formats

What you bring, what you leave with.

Source.ico

ICO

ICO is the Windows favicon format. Pixelmint wraps a PNG inside a single-frame ICO container — ideal for browser tabs and desktop shortcuts.

Target.pdf

PDF

PDF wraps your image inside a single-page document at its native pixel size. Great for sending raster artwork to print shops, lawyers, and document workflows.

Q.01How do I convert ICO to PDF?+
A.01

Drop your ICO file onto the converter above (or click to pick one), then hit Convert. Your PDF download starts the moment the encoder finishes — usually under a second. Nothing leaves your device.

Q.02Is converting ICO to PDF lossless?+
A.02

No. PDF 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?+
A.03

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?+
A.04

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?+
A.05

No. ICO to PDF conversion is free, unlimited, and has no watermarks, signups, ads on the file, or hidden tiers.
