It is highly desired that satisfactory photoactive agents with ideal photophysical characteristics are explored for potent cancer phototherapeutics. Herein, bifunctional nanoparticles of low‐bandgap donor–acceptor (D–A)‐type conjugated‐polymer nanoparticles (CP‐NPs) are developed to afford a highly efficient singlet‐to‐triplet transition and photothermal conversion for near‐infrared (NIR) light‐induced photodynamic (PDT)/photothermal (PTT) treatment. CP‐NPs display remarkable NIR absorption with the peak at 782 nm, and perfect resistance to photobleaching. Photoexcited CP‐NPs undergo singlet‐to‐triplet intersystem crossing through charge transfer in the excited D–A system and simultaneous nonradiative decay from the electron‐deficient electron acceptor isoindigo derivative under single‐wavelength NIR light irradiation, leading to distinct singlet oxygen quantum yield and high photothermal conversion efficiency. Moreover, the CP‐NPs display effective cellular uptake and cytoplasmic translocation from lysosomes, as well as effective tumor accumulation, thus promoting severe light‐triggered damage caused by favorable reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and potent hyperthermia. Thus, CP‐NPs achieve photoactive cell damage through their photoconversion ability for synergistic PDT/PTT treatment with tumor ablation. The proof‐of‐concept design of D–A‐type conjugated‐polymer nanoparticles with ideal photophysical characteristics provides a general approach to afford potent photoactive cancer therapy.
