- Description
- The ICN file format is associated with RIPTerm Image, which is a specific type of graphic file. It was primarily used in conjunction with RIPTerm, a software application designed for accessing Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) in a graphical manner, popular before the widespread adoption of the internet. ICN files contain images or icons that were used within the RIPTerm interface to enhance the user experience by providing a visually rich environment. These files are a part of the legacy computing era and are not commonly used in modern computing environments.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
