Why convert Excel to ICO?
Excel workbooks are spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel and compatible programs, saved as XLSX, XLS, XLSM or XLSB, with CSV and TSV used for plain-text tables. The ICO shows each worksheet as LibreOffice Calc prints it, with cell values, fonts, colours, borders and number formats following the workbook's own page setup.
ICO output is a 256 × 256 pixel Windows icon: the image is scaled to fit with its proportions kept, and the surrounding space is transparent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Excel to ICO?
Drop your Excel file above and press Convert. Our servers open the workbook in LibreOffice Calc, print its worksheets to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as a 256 × 256 ICO icon, ready to download.
Is every worksheet in the Excel workbook included in the ICO?
Yes. Each worksheet is printed in turn using its own print area and page setup, so all sheets appear in the ICO pages in workbook order.
Which spreadsheet files does the Excel to ICO converter accept?
XLSX, XLS, XLSM and XLSB workbooks, plus CSV and TSV text tables. A CSV or TSV is laid out as a grid of rows and columns before it is rendered.
Which part of the Excel becomes the ICO icon?
The first page of the rendered content is used for the icon, fitted inside the 256 × 256 square with its proportions kept.
What size is the ICO made from a Excel file?
The icon is 256 × 256 pixels, the largest standard Windows icon size. The image is fitted inside the square with its proportions kept and a transparent surround, stored as a PNG-compressed icon.
Is my .xlsx file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
