What is a ICO file?
ICO is the icon format used for website favicons and Windows app icons. One ICO file holds several sizes of the same icon (16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixels).
What is AVIF?
AVIF is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It often makes files half the size of JPG with better detail, plus HDR, wide color and transparency.
Why convert ICO to AVIF?
ICO is great for favicons and desktop icons, but only useful as an icon. AVIF is the better choice for the smallest files for the quality, ideal for fast websites; keep in mind many desktop apps, older phones and social media uploaders still can't open AVIF.
Will I lose quality?
AVIF uses lossy compression tuned so the difference is invisible at normal use. We use high-quality settings by default, and you can raise the quality slider before converting.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your pictures never leave your phone or computer.
