- The ICB file format, standing for Targa ICB Bitmap Image, is a type of image file associated with the Targa (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) image format. Targa files, including ICB, are known for their versatility in handling various types of digital images, including color, grayscale, and monochrome. The ICB variant is part of a broader family of Targa formats, which are often used in professional environments for digital video editing, animation, and graphic design.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
