- Description
- An embroidery file type TAP is a file format used by home embroidery machines to store information about the design that is to be stitched. The file contains all the data and instructions necessary for the machine to create the design. It includes information about the type and color of threads to be used, the size of the design, and the exact locations of the different elements of the design.
- 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.
