02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Standard TIFF files from scanners and image editors are read in full
- 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
- Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted.
- Icons are square. A picture that is not square is fitted inside the square with transparent padding, not cropped.
- For a sharp result start from a square image of at least 256×256 pixels.
- Metadata such as EXIF and the GPS location is not copied into the new file.

TIFF vs ICO
TIFF
A TIFF file stores images at maximum quality with little to no compression loss, often at very large file sizes. It's the standard in professional photography, print production, and scanning workflows where quality matters more than file size.
Used in: Professional photography · Print production · Scanned documents
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
