ICO is the Windows icon container, used for application icons and website favicons. It can hold one or more small images, typically 16x16 up to 256x256 pixels. PNG is a lossless format that keeps every pixel intact and supports a full alpha (transparency) channel. Files are larger than JPG but quality never degrades.
