About the formats
SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics
SVG is a vector format that describes shapes as mathematical paths instead of pixels. It stays sharp at any size, which makes it ideal for logos, icons and illustrations.
ICO
Windows Icon
ICO is the format for Windows icons and website favicons. One file can hold several sizes, from 16×16 up to 256×256.

Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
