- 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 UPI file format is associated with Ulead PhotoImpact, an image editing software developed by Ulead Systems. It serves as a project file that contains various elements of a photo editing project, including images, text, and effects. This file format allows users to save their work in progress and return to it later, maintaining the ability to edit individual elements without starting from scratch. UPI files are proprietary to the PhotoImpact software, which was widely used for digital photo editing, graphic design, and web page creation before being acquired by Corel.
