How to Convert BMP to ICO Images and Photos with Python

Image files conversion from one format to another is a common task encountered by every graphic designer. The efficiency and excellence in converting files not only impact the speed of completion but also play a crucial role in assessing the overall work quality. Concerning the images sources, they frequently necessitate transformation into alternative formats more suited for printing or online distribution. An image crafted in a graphic editor is likely to be in vector format. In such instances, for website publication, it must undergo rasterization and be saved in a raster format. You have the option to convert the image in an uncompressed format for superior quality or save it to a lossless compressed format to minimize the file size. For scenarios where file size reduction is obligatory, like in website applications, there’s the possibility of conversion to lossy compression formats. Specialized data compression algorithms for images can significantly diminish file size while upholding acceptable image quality, ensuring swift image loading. To convert images and photos from BMP to ICO, we will employ Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Python platform. You may install it using the following command from your system command.

The system command line

>> pip install aspose-imaging-python-net

Steps to Convert BMP to ICO via Python

Developers can easily load & convert BMP files to ICO in just a few lines of code.

  • load BMP file with Image.Load method;
  • create & set the instance of required subclass of ImageOptionsBase (e.g. BmpOptions, PngOptions, etc.);
  • call the Image.Save method;
  • pass file path with ICO extension & object of ImageOptionsBase class.

System Requirements

Before running the conversion example code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • Microsoft Windows / Linux with .NET Core Runtime.
  • Python and PyPi package manager.

BMP What is BMP File Format

Files having extension .BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. This independency serves the purpose of opening the file on multiple platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Mac. The BMP file format can store data as two-dimensional digital images in both monochrome as well as color format with various colour depths.

ICO What is ICO File Format

The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately. In Windows, all executables that display an icon to the user, on the desktop, in the Start Menu, or in Windows Explorer, must carry the icon in ICO format.
