- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
