- Description
- The ICA file type, associated with IOCA (Image Object Content Architecture), is a graphic file format primarily used for storing image data in a structured manner. It was developed by IBM to facilitate the exchange and processing of complex image documents among different systems and applications. IOCA supports various image types, including bitonal, grayscale, and color images, making it versatile for different imaging needs. It is commonly used in document management and imaging applications, particularly in industries that handle large volumes of scanned documents, such as banking, insurance, and healthcare.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
