Are my ICO files uploaded anywhere?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.

Is converting ICO to JPG free?

Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.

Does converting ICO to JPG lose quality?

JPG is a compressed format, so some data is discarded. At the default setting the difference is not visible; you can raise the quality setting if you need to be certain. Transparency is not supported by the target format and is filled with the background colour.

Do I need to install anything to open JPG files?

No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the JPG afterwards needs whatever software normally handles JPEG Image on your device.
