- Description
- 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.
- Alias image files are a type of image file that store an image in a compressed form. These files are usually created by the Alias software and are used in a variety of industries including graphic design, animation, and 3D modeling.
