- 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 LWI file format, standing for Light Work Image, is associated with software applications designed for digital image editing and manipulation. It is primarily used to store raster graphics, which may include digital photos or artwork processed through these specific programs. LWI files are designed to maintain the quality of the image while supporting various layers, adjustments, and effects applied within the editing software. This format is particularly useful for users who require a dedicated file type to save intermediate stages of their work or to preserve the full editability of their projects.
