Why convert TIFF to ICO?
TIFF is a lossless, high-fidelity format favoured in photography, scanning and print, but its large files are poorly supported on the web. Converting to JPG, PNG or WebP makes the image far smaller and browser-friendly. 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.
- Generate a Windows favicon or app icon — ICO is the format browsers and Windows expect for icons.
- Improve compatibility — ICO is widely supported and easy to use across the apps and platforms you rely on.
