- 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 CompuServe GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image file format that is used to store and display bitmap images. It is widely used on the internet due to its ability to compress and store large amounts of data without losing its quality. GIFs are often used for small, simple animations.
