An AVIF file is a raster graphics royalty-free and open-source file format that uses the AV1 video codec. The lossless and lossy compression techniques apply the video codec encoding to create small, high-resolution, and high-quality images. The compressed AVIF images save bandwidth and increase website responsiveness or decrease webpage loading time while sharing qualities similar to the original image. The file format has inherent features that support transparency (alpha channel) and animation. AVIF images are visually impressive and comparatively smaller than traditional file formats such as WEBP, PNG, and PNG.
An ICO file or image is a vector graphics file extension used to create small-size computer icon images. The file format comprises single or multi-colored small pictures with varying color depths and sizes. The file format is appropriate when computer apps need to select the best image from a group of image files based on color, width, or size since it can contain multiple images. It is scalable without distorting image quality and supports animation and transparency.
To convert files from AVIF to ICO use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.

One of the advantages of ICO is its compatibility with Windows operating systems and browsers for icons, which is crucial for ensuring that icons are viewable by a broad audience. The main disadvantage of AVIF is its limited compatibility with some web browsers and software applications compared to more established formats. ICO is beneficial for broad compatibility with icons in Windows environments. Check this AVIF vs. ICO comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
