- SVG artwork is drawn from shapes, so it is rendered to pixels at high resolution (up to 4096 px on the longest side) before it is saved as ICO. Edges stay crisp.
- Both formats support transparency, so see-through areas stay transparent.
- The icon file contains several sizes (from 16 to 256 px) so it works as a favicon and as a Windows icon.
