Converter ICO to BGP

ICO is a format (full name - Icon File) of bitmap images and refers to system files. Developed by Microsoft and designed to store icons in its operating system. ICO files, as a rule, store icon images - modest in size, with a small resolution (from 16x16 to 64x64 pixels), with different color depths (from 16 colors). In the graphical interface of various operating systems, ICO format files are used to display files, programs and folders (primarily in Windows) or as an icon for a specific website.

BPG is a new graphic format developed by French programmer Fabrice Bellard, known as the creator of the popular programs FFmpeg, QEMU, LZEXE. The main task of the new format is to become a replacement, first of all, for the super popular JPEG image format. According to the developer, such a replacement is necessary where the file size or quality is of great importance. BPG (full name Better Portable Graphics) has a high compression ratio, which, when equal to JPEG quality, allows you to make files much smaller. Moreover, compression is possible without loss. Since the BPG format also supports animation, this gives rise to forecasts that this particular format can successfully compete and eventually replace the animated GIF on the Internet, since it surpasses it in all respects. So, GIF-animation of similar quality will have a much larger size. The BPG format is based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression technology. Mozilla research has shown that HEVC coding demonstrates clear superiority over other technologies. However, the HEVC standard does not have perfect patent purity, and therefore many browsers so far refrain from supporting BPG. Therefore, to download images by most web browsers, you need to use a special Javascript decoder.
