Why convert HEIF to ICO?

ICO is supported far more widely than HEIF, so the file is easier to open, share and upload.
One ICO bundles the standard 16 to 256 px icon sizes (up to the size of your image), ready for a favicon.ico or a Windows shortcut.

What to expect when converting HEIF to ICO

Icons are square, so a non-square image is centred on a transparent square. Sizes larger than your image aren’t created, so start from at least 256 × 256 pixels.
High-dynamic-range and wide-colour detail is converted to standard 8-bit colour.
