RIFF to ICO Conversion: FAQ
What are RIFF files?
The Resource Interchange File Format RIFF is a structured multimedia container format developed through a collaboration between Microsoft and IBM in 1991. As an adaptation of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), RIFF implements a tagged chunk architecture where each data segment contains a 4-character identifier, 32-bit size field, and payload data. This design enables hierarchical organization of heterogeneous multimedia streams while maintaining platform-independent data representation through strict little-endian byte ordering.
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.
