Indeed, I think ICO is the only common-use format to support that (I guess JPEG "sort of" does support it but not in any usable multi-resolution way).

Mipmaps are common in video game graphics format though!

macOS's .icns files (typically used for app icons) can (and usually do) also store multiple resolutions in a single file.

> common-use format

Pretty much nothing outside the apple ecosystem supports .icns

I believe that with svg, you can have multiple breakpoints and style rules depending on canvas size.
