- 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.
- BFL (BFLI) is a binary file format used by the Binary File Library (BFL) library for storing binary data. It stores data in a compressed format and can be used for storing large amounts of data in a single file. BFLI files are cross-platform compatible.
