JPG to ICO: what to expect from the conversion

ICO stores a limited palette rather than full colour, so the conversion has to reduce the number of distinct colours. Photographic content shows this as banding, while flat graphics and icons usually survive it untouched. ICO is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that JPG compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger.

"I was stuck with 500+ BMP files from an old project – they were huge and unusable. reaConverter turned them all to JPEG in about 3 minutes. No quality loss, no hassle. I wish I had found this earlier instead of wasting hours with online converters."

"I run a small real estate agency, and we take hundreds of property photos in RAW. Converting them to JPEG for listings used to be a nightmare – until reaConverter. Now I just drop all CR2 files into the batch, set output to JPEG, and within minutes I have web-ready images. The quality is pristine, and the file sizes are perfect for our site. This tool literally pays for itself in time saved."
