The "ICO format" is a file format for icons, primarily used in Microsoft Windows environments. ICO files typically contain one or more small raster images in various sizes and color depths and are used to display icons in user interfaces, such as application shortcuts, file types, or program launchers.
The format supports transparency and multiple resolutions within a single file, allowing for flexible rendering on different screen sizes and DPI settings.
