Convert Chromium icons (ICON) online for free
The converter easily converts your ICON icons to various formats - free and online. No Android Studio or other Vector Image software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Interface Graphic Asset" file type, you need software like Android Studio or a similar tool.
A .icon file is a highly fragmented format that typically functions as either a Chromium vector icon definition or a standard raster image (such as PNG or JPG) that a developer has simply renamed. They are predominantly used to render interface elements in the Chrome browser, Android applications, or specific software like Autodesk Alias.
The fundamental disadvantage of the .icon extension is its severe ambiguity. Because it is not a universally standardized format like ICO or SVG, standard operating systems do not know what program should open it. Double-clicking a .icon file usually results in an error. If the file is a Chromium vector graphic, it is actually a plain text file containing custom drawing commands that require developer tools to render. If it is a renamed image, standard viewers will fail to open it until the extension is manually corrected.
To make these files usable, you must convert them into standardized formats. For web use and scalable graphics, convert the vector variants to SVG. For general viewing, archiving, or editing in tools like Adobe Photoshop, convert to PNG. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing software.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ICON converter.
