About ICO

Overview

The ICO format is a container for one or more images at multiple sizes and color depths. It allows a single file to store appropriate icons for different display contexts (e.g., 16x16 for menus, 256x256 for desktop). It supports transparency and, in modern versions, PNG compression.

Technical Details

ICO files contain a header followed by an icon directory that lists each image entry. Each entry can use either BMP (uncompressed) or PNG compression. The format supports 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit color depths with optional alpha channels.

Introduced with Microsoft Windows 1.0. It became the standard for website favicons with the release of Internet Explorer 5.
