UYVY to ICO conversion is the process of transforming image or video frame data encoded in the UYVY (YUV 4:2:2 packed) color format into the ICO icon file format used for Windows icons. This involves decoding the chroma-subsampled UYVY pixel data into full-color RGB bitmaps and packaging one or more sized images and color depths into a single .ico container suitable for use as application or favicon icons.

UYVY files typically use the video/x-uyvy MIME type and are used in video capture and streaming applications, often encoded with codecs like V4L2. ICO files have the image/x-icon MIME type and are used for storing icons in Windows environments, supporting multiple image sizes and color depths. The conversion involves extracting frames from UYVY and formatting them into ICO-compatible images.
The ICO (.ICO) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like UYVY.
While specific technical details aren't available here, ICO files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

UYVY is a raw video pixel format primarily used for video capture and processing, whereas ICO is a specialized image format designed for icons containing multiple sizes and color depths. While UYVY files are large and not suitable for icons, ICO files are compact and optimized for display in software interfaces. Converting UYVY to ICO transforms raw video data into usable icon images.
Keep final ICO dimensions limited to standard icon sizes (16–256 px); large icons (256 px) can be PNG-compressed inside ICO to save space.
Preserve quality by converting UYVY to full 24/32-bit RGB before resizing and avoid repeated lossy resampling; perform any color correction in RGB space.
For many icons, batch convert multiple UYVY frames into a single multi-resolution ICO using automated tools to speed workflow and ensure consistent scaling.
UYVY is chroma-subsampled (4:2:2) so very fine color detail may be slightly less accurate than full RGB — check critical color boundaries after conversion.
