- 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.
- Commonly found on PlayStation game consoles as it's used to develop the game software. TIM contains standard RGBA with transparency levels as well as 4,8,16,24, and 32 -bit color. An example of a game that used .tim is the GTA game series.
