An ICO file can contain multiple images of different sizes and color depths, such as 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48, to ensure proper display across different interfaces. It supports transparency and can use lossless or lossy compression for optimization. In addition to Windows, ICO files are commonly used as favicons for websites. Recommended editors include IcoFX and GIMP, while ImageMagick can be used for format conversion.

What is an HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a file format based on HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) using HEVC (H.265) compression. It allows storing high-quality images while reducing file size by approximately 50% compared to JPEG. HEIC supports 16-bit color depth, transparency, HDR, and multiple image storage (such as Live Photos). Apple devices (iOS 11+ and macOS High Sierra+) use HEIC as the default format, making it popular in mobile photography, digital imaging, and cloud storage.
