How to Convert PCX to ICO

ICO is the format Windows uses specifically for icons — application icons, file type icons, and website favicons — and a single ICO file can bundle multiple sizes of the same image (commonly 16×16 up to 256×256 pixels) so the operating system can pick the right resolution depending on context. PCX, as one of the earliest PC Paintbrush formats, was sometimes used for simple icon and logo artwork in older Windows software, making this a reasonably natural source for the conversion.

Converting a PCX graphic to ICO decodes the legacy format and packages the result into the ICO container Windows expects, generating the standard size variants icons typically include.

1. Install Turbo Batch Image Converter Pro on your Windows PC.
2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PCX.
3. Drag your PCX file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to PCX and the "To" format to ICO.
5. Click Convert. ICO files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
