I'm not sure if this question is in the right forum but pls tell me if is not i'm gonna delete it

I just want to ask how many multi resolutions ico format support ? for example can i make icon that have 16x16,22x22,24x24,32x32,42x42,48,48,54,54,64x64,72x72,84x84,96x96,128x128 ? i want to make really smooth icon package but want to looks much good as it can in all size's

at least for the file type's becouse in explorer the icons are not allways fixed size's like 16x16,32x32,64x64.
how many resolutions can ICO icon support ?
Thank you

Here's how I get around this. Create your image in Inkscape ([link]). Then save as an svg (default), upload it to [link] convert, and download it as an ico.

Hi,

The ICO/CUR format accept images in any size from 1x1 to 256x256, and (theoretically) up to 65535 images in its icondir.
Those images doesn't even have to be square (again, theoretically).
In practice, icons rarely have more than 10 entries, and nearly never more than 20.
