- Description
- The HPI file format, standing for Hemera Photo Image, is associated with images created or used by Hemera Photo-Objects software. This software was popular for offering high-quality, royalty-free images spanning various subjects, ideal for use in presentations, documents, and web design. HPI files specifically contain bitmap images that have been optimized for easy integration without the need for advanced graphic editing skills. Despite its previous popularity, the Hemera Photo-Objects software and its proprietary HPI format have seen a decline in use, superseded by more modern image formats and libraries.
- 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.
