- 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.
- WebP Image (WEP) is an image file format developed by Google in 2010. It is based on the VP8 video format and is used to create smaller, higher quality, and lossy compressed images. It is supported by most major web browsers and is commonly used for web graphics.
