ICO to UYVY conversion is the process of transforming a Windows icon file (ICO), which stores one or more small raster images and optional transparency, into a UYVY-formatted raw or container video/bitmap stream that uses interleaved chroma (YUV 4:2:2) sampling. This conversion extracts the ICO bitmap(s), expands or pads them to a compatible resolution and color space, and encodes the result as UYVY frames for use in video processing, broadcast pipelines, or specialized image workflows.

ICO files use the MIME type image/vnd.microsoft.icon and are commonly utilized for icons in Windows and web environments. UYVY corresponds to the YUV 4:2:2 video pixel format often encapsulated in video streams with MIME types like video/x-uyvy. UYVY encoding employs specific codecs suitable for video hardware and real-time processing, distinct from the static nature of ICO images.
The UYVY (.UYVY) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like ICO.
While specific technical details aren't available here, UYVY files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Our online ICO to UYVY converter provides a seamless way to convert your ICO files to the UYVY format without installing any software. Designed for users looking to transform ICO image files into the UYVY video pixel format, our tool ensures fast, secure, and high-quality conversions directly from your browser.
ICO files are typically small icon images used for application shortcuts and web favicons, while UYVY is a video pixel format encoding color information for video frames. ICO is primarily a static image format, whereas UYVY is designed for real-time video processing and broadcasting. Converting ICO to UYVY adapts static graphics to fit video production environments.
Keep ICO input sizes modest; icons above 512x512 may be downscaled—optimal source sizes are 32x32 to 256x256 for predictable results.
Preserve transparency by expanding alpha into an RGB background before UYVY conversion, since UYVY does not carry an alpha channel.
For best visual fidelity, convert 24/32-bit ICO entries directly to 8-bit-per-channel UYVY without intermediate indexed palettes to avoid banding.
Use batch conversion tools or scripts when processing many icons; ensure consistent target resolution and padding rules to maintain uniform frames.

Be aware that UYVY is chroma-subsampled (4:2:2) and cannot represent per-pixel alpha; fine color detail and sharp color edges may be slightly reduced compared to truecolor ICO sources.
