ICO to PNG
See every image inside an ICO file and save each size as a PNG.
Extract Icon from EXE
Extract icons embedded in a Windows EXE file directly in your browser.
Your files stay on your device.
Drop an EXE file here Release to open it
Works with Windows programs and libraries (EXE, DLL, MUN, OCX, CPL, SCR), Windows shortcuts (LNK, URL), ICO and ICNS icon files, and AppImages.
Files are read as data on your device. Programs and apps are never run.
Help improve UNQIRO
Allow anonymous usage statistics? UNQIRO would count only which tool was used, whether it finished and which links between the tools and the Format Lab were followed. Your files, text and results are never included, and this use is not counted.
Good to know
- Programs only: This page expects a program. If the file is a library (DLL), even one renamed to .exe, you are pointed to the DLL page instead. The content of the file decides, not its name.
- Several icons: Programs often have more than one icon, for example one per document type they open. Each set is listed separately.
- Sizes: Current programs usually include 16, 24, 32, 48 and 256 pixels. Older ones may stop at 32 or 48.
Read as data, never executed
Only the headers, the resource table and the icon images are read. Nothing in the file is started or loaded, and nothing it refers to is opened. Large files are not read completely, only the parts that hold the icons.
Icon extraction does not determine whether a program is safe. UNQIRO is not a virus scanner: check unknown programs with antivirus software before running them.
Where this comes from
Based on the open-source IconGrabber project, a desktop tool by the same author. Its file parsing was rebuilt for the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the icon without installing the program?
Often, yes: open the installer or the .exe itself. Some installers only contain a generic setup icon, and the icon of the app itself is only in the installed program.
Why does my EXE have no icon resources?
Some programs, for example command-line tools, have no icon of their own. Windows then shows a default icon that is not stored in the file.
ICO or PNG: which one do I need?
An ICO file holds all sizes in one file, which is what Windows expects for shortcuts. A PNG holds one size and works almost everywhere else.
