Why Convert TIFF to ICO?

While TIFF is a high-quality, versatile image format, ICO is a specialized format primarily used for:

  • Favicons: The small icons displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. ICO is still widely supported and often preferred for this purpose.
  • Desktop Icons: Icons for applications, folders, and files on Windows operating systems.
  • Legacy Compatibility: For older systems or specific software that require the ICO format for icons.

This converter allows you to transform your high-resolution TIFFs into the specific icon format needed for web and desktop applications.

Key Features of This Converter

Versatile ICO Creation

  • • **Batch Processing:** Convert multiple TIFF files to ICO simultaneously.
  • • **Single Size Output:** Select one standard ICO size (e.g., 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256) for the output ICO file.
  • • **Transparency Handling:** TIFF transparency is preserved in the output ICO (as a PNG-encoded frame within the ICO). Transparent areas will be filled with a customizable background color if the ICO format/depth chosen doesn't support transparency.

User-Friendly Options

  • • **Filename Customization:** Add prefixes or suffixes to your output ICO filenames.
  • • **Download Options:** Download files individually or as a ZIP archive.
  • • **Client-Side Processing:** All processing is done directly in your browser; files are not uploaded.

How to Convert TIFF to ICO

  1. Upload TIFF Files: Drag and drop your TIFF images, or click to select files. The necessary modules will load dynamically.
  2. Adjust Settings (Optional):
    • **ICO Options:** Select the desired output resolution for your ICO file.
    • **Background Color:** Choose a color to fill transparent areas for ICO frames that don't support transparency.
    • **Naming:** Add a prefix or suffix for the output filenames.
  3. Convert: Click the "Convert TIFFs to ICO" button.
  4. Download: Download your converted ICO files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will transparency from my TIFF file be kept?

Yes, for modern ICOs that embed PNG data (which this tool simulates). For older ICO formats or specific bit depths that don't support alpha channels, transparent areas will be filled with the background color you select.

Will the ICO file be larger than the original TIFF?

It depends. While TIFF can be very large, ICO files, even when containing only one size, can sometimes be larger than highly compressed source images like JPG or WebP. However, compared to an uncompressed TIFF, a single-size ICO might be smaller. The size will primarily depend on the selected ICO resolution and the complexity of the image.

Can I convert multi-page TIFF files to ICO?

No. This tool will only process the first image (first IFD) found within a multi-page TIFF file. ICO is a static image format and does not support multi-page images in the same way TIFF does.

Why does the ICO encoder take time to load?

Browsers do not natively support ICO encoding. This tool uses a client-side library (or simulates one) to perform the task of generating the ICO file format. This process happens entirely in your browser and can take a few moments depending on the file size and your device's performance.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image parsing and conversion are performed directly in your web browser. Your files are not sent to any external server, ensuring your privacy and security.
