Why Convert AVI to ICO?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a classic video container. ICO is the Windows icon format used for application shortcuts, favicons, and system UI. Converting AVI to ICO extracts a frame from your video and saves it as an icon file — useful for creating custom application icons from video content, generating favicons from video thumbnails, or creating icon sets from video frames.
Use Cases
- Custom app icons — Extract a key frame from a video and use it as a Windows application icon or shortcut icon.
- Favicon creation — Pull a frame from a product demo or brand video to create a website favicon.
- Thumbnail icons — Generate icon-sized thumbnails from video content for file managers, media libraries, or custom UI elements.
- Icon sets from video — Use Multiple Screenshots to extract several frames and create a set of related icons from a single video.

How do I extract a specific frame?
Select "Specific Frame" under Frame Selection. You can specify which frame number or timestamp to capture from the video.
Can I extract multiple frames as separate ICO files?
Yes. Select "Multiple Screenshots" under Frame Selection to generate several ICO files from different points in the video.
What resolution should I use for ICO?
Standard ICO sizes are 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128, and 256×256 pixels. Use the Resolution option to set the exact width × height for your target use case.
Will the ICO file contain transparency?
ICO files support transparency. If the source video frame has no transparent areas, the icon will have a solid background.
Can I use the ICO as a favicon?
Yes. A 16×16 or 32×32 ICO file is the standard favicon format for websites. Set the resolution accordingly before converting.
