- Description
- 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 ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
