Why Convert TIFF to ICO?
ICO is purpose-built for icons and favicons:
- Multi-size in one file: 16–256 px variants bundled for crisp rendering.
- Favicon standard: Works across major browsers.
- Windows native: Ideal for desktop/app/shortcut icons.
- Transparency: Alpha support for smooth edges.

Best Practices for Sharp Icons
- Start with a square image and add padding to avoid clipping.
