ICO files typically contain small app or favicon icons, often bundling several sizes in one file. Converting to AVIF happens instantly, right in your browser. AVIF gives the smallest file sizes of any format here, but support in older browsers and some software is still limited.
ICO files are purpose-built for icons, and stop being useful the moment you need that image for anything else. Converting to AVIF gets you the smallest possible file size, where the audience’s software supports it — done instantly, for free, without installing anything or creating an account.
Quick verdict: Pick ICO for favicons, Windows application icons, AVIF for next-gen web images, smallest file sizes.
.ico.avifimage/x-iconimage/avifConverting your ICO file to AVIF happens in three steps, entirely on your device: your browser reads the ICO file into memory, decodes and re-encodes it as AVIF using built-in browser technology (Canvas and WebAssembly), and hands you the finished file as a direct download.
At no point does the file get sent to a server. There’s no upload step to intercept, no account that could be breached, and nothing stored after you close the tab — the conversion simply couldn’t leak your file even if something went wrong, because it never left your browser in the first place.
