- Description
- WIC (J Wavelet Image Codec) is a proprietary image compression format developed by J-Wavelet Technologies. It is designed to reduce the file size of digital images while maintaining their original quality. WIC supports a range of image formats, including JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and TIFF.
- 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.
