Technical note

What changes when you convert VIC to ICO

VIC carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. ICO has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the VIC original if the data still has to go back into a GIS. ICO stores a limited palette rather than full colour, so the conversion has to reduce the number of distinct colours. Photographic content shows this as banding, while flat graphics and icons usually survive it untouched.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as ICO opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from VIC in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to ICO with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

VIC to ICO Conversion

What are VIC files?

VIC and VICAR are two archaic formats designed in the 1960s by NASA, particularly for storing, transferring and editing interplanetary and astronomical imaging data. The formats were later used in various other industries as well, including biomedical services, cartography and geology. Both VIC and VICAR formats are now considered rare and probably difficult to access outside specialized software.

What are ICO files?

ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
