Technical note

ETS to ICO: what to expect from the conversion

ETS is a pyramidal whole-slide image: one file carries the same scanned slide at several magnifications, and the largest level can run past 100,000 pixels on a side. ICO holds a single flat picture at one resolution. That makes the magnification the decisive choice, because there is no sensible original size to fall back on here: the full-resolution level of a slide scan is larger than most image software will open at all. ICO stores a limited palette rather than full colour, so the conversion has to reduce the number of distinct colours. Photographic content shows this as banding, while flat graphics and icons usually survive it untouched.

Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch.

FAQ

ETS to ICO Conversion

What are ETS files?

ETS files are used in virtual microscopy to store the full-resolution image data captured from digital slides. Commonly generated by Olympus slide scanners, ETS files work alongside VSI (Virtual Slide Image) files to enable detailed, zoomable viewing of high-resolution microscope images. An ETS file contains the raw image tiles that make up the actual slide content, allowing for fast, fluid navigation across large specimens in digital pathology and biomedical research.

What are ICO files?

ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
