TIFF is common in print, scanning, and professional photo workflows, where lossless quality matters more than file size. Converting to ICO happens instantly, right in your browser. The output is a single-size icon file — ideal for favicons or small app icons, not a general photo format.

.tiff, .tif.icoimage/tiffimage/x-iconConverting your TIFF file to ICO happens in three steps, entirely on your device: your browser reads the TIFF file into memory, decodes and re-encodes it as ICO 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.
