About the ICO format
ICO — Windows Icon
ICO is the standard icon format for Windows, storing one or more images at different resolutions within a single file. Modern ICO files can contain high-resolution PNG-compressed images alongside traditional BMP frames for compatibility across all Windows versions.
Common uses
- Windows application and file type icons
- Website favicon (favicon.ico)
- Windows shortcut and executable icons
- Cross-resolution icon sets for Windows UI
About the XC format
XC — Constant Color Canvas
XC is an ImageMagick canvas generator that creates a solid-color image of any specified color and dimensions. Like PLASMA, it is not a stored file format but a built-in generator used to create blank colored canvases as starting points for image composition operations.
Common uses
- Creating solid-color background images
- Initializing canvas for ImageMagick compositing
- Generating color swatches and test images
- Blank canvas base for layered image operations
