- 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.
- Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG) files store graphic images in XML format and may contain gradients, transparency, filters and animations. SVG files are compressed using GZIP compression.
