- 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.
- The CMP file format is associated with Discorp CMP Image, a lesser-known image format. It is primarily used for storing digital images in a compressed form, allowing for efficient storage without significantly sacrificing image quality. The format is designed to be compatible with specific software or devices, often related to the Discorp brand. Users typically encounter CMP files in environments or applications that specifically support or require this format for image manipulation or display purposes.
