- 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 ISM file type is associated with the Image System (Multicolor), a format used for storing digital images. It is specifically designed to support images with multiple colors, allowing for rich and detailed visual content. This format is utilized in various applications that require high-quality image representation, including graphics design and digital imaging software. The ISM file format enables efficient storage and retrieval of multicolor images, making it a practical choice for professionals and enthusiasts in the field of digital graphics.
