Format Details
HEIF
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the generic container format developed by MPEG from which HEIC (using HEVC encoding) is derived. It supports image sequences, live photos, multi-frame images, and audio tracks within a single container, with superior compression compared to JPEG. HEIF is used across Apple, Samsung, and other platforms as a modern alternative to older image container formats.
ICO
ICO is the Windows icon file format used to display icons for applications, files, folders, and shortcuts in the operating system. It can contain multiple image sizes and color depths within a single file, ensuring icons look sharp at different display scales and DPI settings. ICO files are also used as website favicons — the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars.
