An ICO file is what websites use for the little favicon in the browser tab, and it is also the format Windows expects for shortcuts and program icons. If your artwork is sitting in a JPG, this converter gets it into ICO shape in a couple of clicks.
One thing worth knowing up front: JPG images can't hold a transparent background. If your logo was saved as a JPG, whatever background color it has will come along into the icon. When you want a clean, transparent icon, a PNG is the better place to start.
Favicons are tiny, so fine detail disappears quickly. Crop the JPG down to the part that matters and keep it square in the editor before converting. A busy photo rarely reads well at 16 pixels, while a single letter or a simple mark stays clear.
Yes. Convert the JPG to ICO, save it as favicon.ico, and add it to your site. The only catch is transparency. JPG can't store it, so the icon keeps whatever background the photo had.
Because the source was a JPG, and JPG has no transparency layer. If you need a see-through background behind the icon, start from a PNG instead.
Square and not too large. Something in the 64×64 to 256×256 range crops nicely to a favicon without carrying extra file weight.
