Limits
Starting point: ICO - ICO bundles multiple resolutions of an icon in one container file. Conversion rasterizes one size, so start from the largest entry. Some writers use JPEG-in-TIFF encoding that not every reader opens. Export TIFF/TIF from ICO at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
