Why convert BMP to ICO?

A quick technical note: BMP uses 24-bit while ICO uses 32-bit. That difference matters most when your use case involves Website favicons and app icons. This conversion processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly – no upload, no server, no privacy concerns. Perfect for sensitive or large batches. The conversion itself takes seconds — the benefits last much longer.
