NEF is an abbreviation of Nikon Electronic Format and is primarily used for retaining everything captured by a camera before it undergoes any form of processing. The information maintained by the NEF file format also includes metadata such as the camera name, lens type, and lens model. A file with the NEF extension is known as a Nikon RAW Image File, most commonly referred to as camera raw image files and used by Nikon digital SLR cameras, NEF files are digital negatives and contain information captured by the camera's image sensors. NEF files capture video in their original format without any form of in-camera processing of the hue, tone, sharpness and white balance.
The .ICO filename extension refers to the ICON image file format originally developed by Microsoft. The extension is used to represent computer icon images of varying sizes designed for the operating system Microsoft Windows. Its use today has extended to developing icons for programs designed using the Microsoft developer's suite Visual Studio and other applications. Similar to other device independent bitmap file formats, the ICON file format is also in the raster graphics class of image formats where each individual pixel is part of an orthogonal dot matrix data structure with support for a limited palette of color information. As a resource file, the .ico file format has its strength in contextual use. This allows for multiple icon images of different color depth or size to be stored within the resource file and used when appropriate.

Upload NEF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized ICO results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent ICO audio with dependable progress tracking.
NEF files are used in Nikon digital cameras for capturing video without post-processing them or adding special effects. NEF files are stored as RAW image files and can be transferred to the computer for image editing and post-production purposes. NEF files can be converted to various other file formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG and can be used with image editing applications like Photoshop. NEF files are uncompressed, contain meta information of image data and are used for saving images taken with a Nikon digital camera. Any changes in the hue, tone and color made to the NEF files can be reversed, what this means is that users can fall back on any changes to the image they previously made through an image editing software and restore the image to its original quality.
Each .ico file begins with an icon directory specifying the number of images, color depth, and size. Through its history, ICON file formats have come from containing images at a resolution from 32x32 in monochrome, to containing images up to 256x256 in resolution with up to 16.7 million colors.
