I tried it and immediately fell in love! It was so easy to use! After a couple conversions I bought the guys a cup of coffee. A couple more and decided this was too good to abuse! I joined! My life is so much easier!
TillieI had a huge, problematic file to convert that couldn't go through the usual automated conversion process. The Zamzar team responded quickly to my request for help, and they took the extra steps needed to do it manually.

Christopher BeeGreat for when you need a lot of conversions in a short time. You have directly access and can even put the subscription on for just a month.
Sabina CalisI feel like Zamzar is an active team member, especially for projects that I work on where I am the workhorse and it saves so much time and frustration. I am spoiled with Zamzar, because they have set the bar for file conversion and customer service very high.
Deborah HermanFantastic service! My mom's computer died and she has 1000+ Word Perfect files she wants to keep for some reason. Since Word Perfect is basically dead, I decided to convert all her files. Zamzar's converter was perfect.

PNG Image Format PNG Converter
PNG file stands for "Portable Network Graphic" and is an image type that is popular in web design circles, as it allows designers to take advantage of transparent backgrounds to create striking effects.
Like the GIF format, the PNG is a compressed image file format (between 10-30% more compressed than a GIF), but crucially uses lossless compression. This allows 100% of the original the image information to be restored should a user wish to decompress the image.
PNG files are often larger in size than the JPG format because it contains more detail, making it a popular choice for high resolution images like logos.
The PNG file format was originally developed in 1995 and alongside JPG overtook the GIF as a popular format for the Web. A very widely supported format, most graphics applications can open and manipulate PNG files.

It’s easy to convert a PNG to an ICO file to customise the way files appear on your Windows device. Zamzar has a free online conversion tool that quickly changes PNGs to ICO. There are just three steps – uploading your file, converting it, then downloading your ICO.
If you prefer, you can also create ICO files on your device by opening the image using MS Paint, resizing it to 32x32 pixels, and then saving it, changing the end of the file name to .ico from .png. You can follow a similar process with Preview on Mac, or in Photoshop.
You can save PNGs as ICO files by renaming the file extension in Windows to .ico, or using the ‘Save As’ option in Microsoft Paint, Photoshop or Preview (for Mac). However, one of the easiest and quickest ways is to use Zamzar’s online conversion tool. It’s free and you don’t need to open the files to resize and edit them, or download any extra software. Just upload a PNG image, click to convert it, then download your new ICO icon.
There are a few ways you can create an ICO file on your Windows or Mac device. Probably the easiest is using an online file converter like Zamzar.
An alternative way is opening the PNG file in Paint, Photoshop or Mac’s Preview to resize it and resave it as an ICO image (.ico). You can also manually rename the end of the PNG file name to .ico in your Windows folder. However, this won’t work with all images and might make the file unusable. With Zamzar, you won’t have this problem.
If you want to turn a picture into an icon, there’s a quick conversion tool from Zamzar that you can use. You don’t have to download any new software - just select your image file (PNG, JPEG or other file type), choose the option to convert it to an ICO file, then download the converted file.
It’s also possible to create Windows icons on your device using Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop or Preview for Mac. You would need to open the file using your preferred programme and resize the image before you can save it as an ICO file.
If you have a Windows device, it’s quick and easy to convert PNG to ICO using Zamzar’s online tool. You can convert your files in real-time, without needing to open them in Windows or download any new software.
Other methods you can use on your device include editing your PNG file in Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop, and then resaving it as an ICO file. You might also need to resize the image beforehand. However, Zamzar does this all for you, so all you need to do is upload the file and click to convert it.
