Transparency will be lost
ICO supports transparency, but JPEG does not. Transparent areas will be filled with a solid color (typically white). If you need transparency, consider converting to PNG or WebP instead.
Quality reduction ahead
ICO is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved. JPEG uses lossy compression — some data is permanently discarded to reduce file size. At high quality settings the difference is usually imperceptible, but the original data cannot be recovered.
Color depth reduction: 32-bit → 24-bit
ICO stores up to 32 bits per channel, but JPEG supports only 24 bits. You may notice banding in smooth gradients (like sky or skin tones) where subtle color transitions are lost.
What compression artifacts to expect
JPEG lossy compression can produce blockiness and mosquito noise around sharp edges. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.

What Happens When You Convert ICO to JPEG
Your ICO image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as JPEG. Some quality is permanently lost during compression. CocoConvert uses high-quality defaults to minimize this.
Your ICO file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
Transparency is resolved: transparent pixels are composited onto a white background
Pixels are re-encoded using JPEG Image's lossy compression algorithm
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where JPEG supports it
The JPEG file is saved and ready for download
