Convert TIFF to ICO
What is TIFF?
TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality format supporting lossless compression, multiple layers, and up to 48-bit color depth. Used in professional photography, publishing, and archiving. Large file sizes but maximum quality preservation. Converting TIFF to other image formats typically involves compression tradeoffs.
- TIFF uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Alpha channel transparency requires background color for ICO conversion
What is ICO?
ICO
ICO stores multiple bitmap images at various sizes and color depths (1-bit to 32-bit with alpha) in a single file. Designed for Windows application and website favicons. Contains multiple representations (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 256×256) for different display contexts. Can store both BMP and PNG formats internally. Maximum 256×256 pixels per image. Supports transparency.
- ICO uses lossless compression for perfect quality image storage
- Opaque image data converts to TIFF without utilizing transparency features
- No transparency support—requires opaque backgrounds
