Game Icon is Pixelated / Blurry

Hey there,

Whenever I change my game’s icon, it is incredibly blurry/pixelated.

I go into Project Settings → Windows → Icon and change the icon to be a .ico file. I’ve heard that the size must be 256x256, so I have tried that. I also tried different sizes. No matter what, whenever I package my game, the icon is incredibly blurry on the desktop/file explorer. Here is a picture of an example:

In this instance, it is very pixelated. However, other times, it is incredibly blurry.

I converted my png file to an ico file by using an online converter. I’ve tried multiple and they all have this problem. Some converters make the file incredibly small in terms of pixels, whereas some keep the same size as the png. Ultimately though, just as pixelated/blurry when I package my game.

Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong or have any solutions? This has been pretty frustrating.

Thanks in advance!
