Understanding JPEG and ICO file formats

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used image format known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. It is commonly used for digital photography and web graphics.

ICO (Icon) is a file format used for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. It contains one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, allowing for scaling in different display contexts.

How to convert JPEG to ICO

Converting a JPEG to an ICO file involves changing the image format to be suitable for use as an icon. This process typically requires resizing the image to standard icon dimensions, such as 16x16, 32x32, or 64x64 pixels, and ensuring it has the appropriate color depth.
