- Commonly used by web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer to show format text and images in an HTML web page. In plain text format, they contain markup code.
- 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.
