What happens to your data

Kept

  • AVIF photos and graphics are supported, including transparency
  • One .ico file with six sizes inside: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels, as Windows and browsers expect
  • Transparency is kept

Good to know

  • For an animated AVIF only the first frame is used.
  • Icons are square. A picture that is not square is fitted inside the square with transparent padding, not cropped.

AVIF vs ICO

AVIF

An AVIF file uses newer, more efficient compression than WebP, producing noticeably smaller files at the same visual quality. Major browsers now support it, and it's becoming the new default for performance-focused websites.

Used in: High-performance websites · Modern browsers · Bandwidth-sensitive apps

ICO

An ICO file bundles one or more small icon images into a single file, traditionally used for Windows application and file-type icons. It's still the required format for website favicons today.

Used in: Website favicons · Windows app icons · Desktop shortcuts
