Technical Details
ICO Structure Analysis
ICO files use a container structure storing multiple bitmap images at different resolutions (typically 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and 256×256 pixels) with optional alpha channel transparency. Each embedded image can use different bit depths and compression methods.
TIFF Compression Options
TIFF format supports multiple compression algorithms including LZW lossless compression, ZIP deflation, and uncompressed storage. The format handles various bit depths from 1-bit monochrome to 32-bit RGBA with full alpha channel support.
Color Space Conversion
Converting from ICO’s sRGB color space to TIFF enables expanded color space options including Adobe RGB, CMYK for printing, and grayscale variants. TIFF’s flexible color management supports professional printing workflows and color-critical applications.
