Why Compress ICO Files?

ICO files bundle several icon sizes into one file, which can add up — especially for favicons loaded on every page. A smaller ICO means a faster first paint for your site.

How ICO Compression Works

Our tool optimizes each embedded icon image and its palette, trimming the overall file while keeping every size crisp and the transparency intact.

Favicons and Page Speed

The favicon is requested on virtually every page view, so keeping the ICO small is an easy, site-wide performance win.

Cloud-powered processing delivers results in seconds, not minutes.
