- 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 PWP file format is associated with PhotoWorks, a digital image editing and enhancement software. PWP files are the proprietary format used by PhotoWorks to store digital photographs and images, including all the editing and adjustments made within the software. This file type contains image data such as color, brightness, and contrast adjustments, as well as any applied filters or effects. Since PWP is a proprietary format, it is primarily supported and opened by PhotoWorks software.
