A favourite iPhone photo can become a favicon or app icon, but faces and subjects off-centre will be cropped by the square icon shape. HEIC is the photo format iPhones use by default, efficient on the phone but unreadable in many desktop tools and browsers. This free heic to ico converter does that conversion entirely in your browser, so your file is never uploaded and no signup is needed. ICO output here is one file holding 16, 32 and 48 pixel versions, the standard favicon set, so one download covers browser tabs and shortcuts. The honest limits: Icons must be square, so a wide or tall picture is centre cropped before the three sizes are built. Keep the subject centred in the source.
