- 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 EPA file type is associated with the Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) used in many computers. It specifically refers to the format for BIOS logo images that are displayed during the computer's boot-up sequence. These logo images, often customized by PC manufacturers or users to display a brand or personal image, are stored as .epa files. The EPA format is designed to be compatible with the Award BIOS environment, allowing for a personalized touch to the boot-up process.
