- 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 MIC file format is associated with Microsoft Image Composer, a discontinued graphic editing software that was part of the Microsoft Office family. MIC files contain images and graphics that were created or edited within the application. These files support various layers, effects, and other graphical elements used in the creation process. While Microsoft Image Composer is no longer actively developed or supported, some modern graphic software might still offer limited compatibility with MIC files for the purpose of viewing or converting them.
