- 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.
- 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.
