Why Merge ICO to PDF?
ICO is the Windows icon format used for application icons, favicons, and desktop shortcuts. Merging ICO files to PDF creates a visual catalog of your icon set — useful for documenting icon libraries, creating design specification sheets, presenting favicon options to clients, or archiving icon collections.
Each ICO file is rendered as one page in the combined PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ICO format?
ICO is Microsoft's icon format for Windows applications and website favicons. It can contain multiple sizes (16×16 to 256×256) in a single file with transparency support.
Can I control PDF quality?
Yes. Under "Image Compression," set "Image Quality (%)" for embedded images. Under "Compression Type," choose Screen (smallest), Ebook, Default, Prepress, or Printer (highest quality).
Can I create individual PDFs instead of one combined file?
Yes. Under "Combine?," select "Individual PDFs" to create one PDF per ICO file.
Can I remove transparency?
Yes. Under "Image Transparency," choose "Removed" to replace transparent areas with a white background.
What placement should I use for small icons?
"Contained" with "Normal (1")" margin centers the icon on the page. "Cover" would stretch small icons, which is not recommended.
