Vector SVG Rasterization & Favicon Multi-Packing Specification

Formula representation used for accurate calculations:

Multi-Pack ICO Container = Header (6 bytes) + Directory Entries (16 bytes × N resolutions) + Embedded PNG Streams (16px, 32px, 48px, 64px) Raster Density: Rendered at 300+ DPI with Lanczos resampling and anti-aliased alpha transparency.
Calculation Example: A scalable vector SVG renders into a crisp 1024×1024 PNG asset and packs into a standard 4-layer Windows .ico favicon container (16/32/48/64px).
