Ani files are Windows Animated Cursor files that are used for displaying custom animated mouse cursors in the Windows operating system. They are similar to animated GIFs and can be created with various image editing programs.
An ALS file is an image created with Alias SketchBook Pro, a painting and drawing application for mobile devices and computers. It contains a drawing created with the software, which may include layers, colors, text, and images. ALS files also store additional information about the drawing such as the name of the author.
