File Converter

ICON is a file format used to store icons on Microsoft Windows. It supports images of various sizes and color depths, and it can contain multiple images within a single file, allowing icons to be displayed in different resolutions and color depths depending on the user’s settings. While ICON files are essential for creating application and file icons in Windows, they are less commonly used for other purposes due to their specific functionality and limited support on non-Windows platforms.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge image file format developed by the Alliance for Open Media, utilizing the AV1 video codec for highly efficient image compression. It supports a wide range of features including high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and 8-10 bit color depth, all while achieving significantly smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG, though it may not be as widely supported across all platforms and software yet.
