About Icon (ICO)
ICO is the Windows icon format. One .ico file can hold several images of the same icon at different sizes.
Website favicons and the icons of Windows programs and shortcuts.
Each image in an ICO file can be at most 256 × 256 pixels, so the format is not suited to photos.

Why won't my image editor open the ICO file properly? A favicon file bundles the same icon at several sizes in one container, so most viewers show only the largest layer or open it distorted.
About TIFF

Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
