⚖️ Technical Format Comparison: ICO vs WEBP
Detailed side-by-side analysis of compression algorithms, color depth, transparency, and file size impact
| Technical Specification | ICO (Source) | WEBP (Target) |
|---|---|---|
| Full Format Name | Windows Icon File Container | Web Picture Format (Google) |
| MIME Type | image/x-icon | image/webp |
| Compression Method | Embedded Multi-Resolution PNG / BMP bitstreams | Lossy (VP8) or Lossless (VP8L) |
