- Description
- A Generic Picture File is a type of file format used to store an image or graphic representation. It can be used to store digital photos, clip art, line art, and other types of graphics. Common file extensions for this type of file include .jpg, .gif, .bmp, and .png.
- 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.
