How many sizes are typically in a .ico file?
Modern .ico files contain 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and sometimes 256x256 sizes. Older favicons may only contain 16x16 and 32x32.
Can I extract a high-resolution PNG from a favicon.ico?
Only if the .ico file contains a high-resolution size. Many favicons only include 16x16 and 32x32. If those are the only available sizes, you cannot get a higher-resolution PNG from the same file.
What is an ICO file used for?
ICO files are primarily used for website favicons and Windows application icons. They can contain multiple image sizes in one file so the OS or browser picks the most appropriate size for the context.
