- 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 RLC file format, specifically denoted as Image Systems RLC2 Graphic, is a type of image file used primarily for storing bitmap graphics. Developed by Image Systems, this format is designed to store high-quality images in a compressed manner to save space without significantly sacrificing the image's integrity. RLC files are often used in specific industries or with specialized software that recognizes the RLC2 Graphic format. This makes them less common in general graphic design but valuable for targeted applications requiring the format's specific benefits.
