- 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 OIL (Open Image Library Format) file type is associated with a digital image format used for storing bitmap images. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the Open Image Library, a software library developed for the efficient handling, manipulation, and storage of images in various applications. The OIL format supports various color depths and can include metadata such as authorship and copyright information. Due to its flexibility and compatibility with the Open Image Library's features, it is suitable for both simple and complex image processing tasks.
