Question 1

What is ICO format?

Accepted Answer

ICO is Microsoft's icon format for Windows applications and website favicons. It can contain multiple image sizes in a single file, with transparency support.

Question 2

Does rotation affect icon quality?

Accepted Answer

90°, 180°, and 270° rotations are pixel-perfect. Custom angles require resampling — not recommended for small icons (16×16, 32×32) where every pixel matters.

Question 3

Can I compress while rotating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image Compression," choose any method. For icons, "Quality Preset" at maximum preserves crisp edges.

Question 4

Can I also resize while rotating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image resolution," set by percentage or keep original. Useful for creating different icon sizes.

Question 5

Should I rotate as ICO or convert to PNG?

Accepted Answer

For favicons and Windows icons, keep ICO. For web use beyond favicons, ICO to PNG is more versatile.
