- 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 PGC (Portfolio Graphics Compressed) file type is associated with a specific image format primarily designed for storing graphics in a compressed form. It is aimed at minimizing file size while maintaining image quality, making it suitable for digital portfolios or collections where space efficiency is crucial. The PGC format supports various levels of compression, allowing users to balance between image quality and file size according to their needs. This format is particularly useful for professionals or hobbyists looking to showcase their work digitally in a compact and efficient manner.
