RB to ICO conversion is the process of transforming an RB-format ebook or resource bundle (RB) into an ICO icon file format used for application and website icons. This converts cover art or other image assets embedded in an RB package into one or more ICO images (typically containing multiple sizes and color depths) suitable for favicons and desktop icons.

RB files use a bitmap image format with MIME type image/rb and are often uncompressed, making them large and less flexible. ICO files have MIME type image/x-icon and support multiple image sizes and color depths within a single file. ICOs are primarily used for icons in Windows and other software interfaces and can contain PNG or BMP compressed images within.
The ICO (.ICO) format is commonly used for ebook. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like RB.

Our Online RB to ICO Converter offers a fast and user-friendly way to transform RB files into ICO icons. Whether you need custom icons for apps, websites, or software projects, this tool simplifies the process without requiring any downloads or installations.
RB files typically store raw bitmap data and are less versatile in icon usage compared to ICO files. ICO format supports multiple resolutions and transparency layers, making it better suited for icons in applications and websites. While RB files are often source bitmaps, ICO files ensure compatibility across different devices and environments.
Keep source images in RB at or above desired icon resolution; for crisp icons, supply images at 256x256 or larger before conversion.
Preserve transparency: if the RB cover uses transparent backgrounds, select 32-bit ICO output with alpha channel to keep smooth edges.
Optimal file sizes: aim for individual ICO entries under 200 KB for web favicons (use PNG compression within ICO for best size/quality balance).
Batch conversions: process multiple RB files in a single job when the tool supports batch mode; verify each output icon’s sizes and previews before deployment.

Format limitations: ICO is an image/icon container—not a document format—so only image assets from RB can be converted; text, interactive elements, or DRM-protected content in RB cannot be turned into icons.
