- 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 sk2 file type is a vector graphic format created by the sK1 open source vector graphics editor. It is an extension of the sk1 format and is used to store vector graphics and images. The sk2 file format supports layers, masking, transparency, and other advanced features.
