Converting IRA to Roth help

So, I know that converting my traditional IRA to a ROTH will count as income because it’s not money I put into it this year.  I’ve checked that it won’t affect my tax bracket or my deductions.  How do I handle withholding to keep from paying a huge tax bill on money not going in my pocket?  Does the company who I work with for my IRA withhold an estimated tax? Or just the estimated “early retirement” penalty?  Should I ask them to withhold anything or would that make my taxes worse??
