What is meant by the ICO format?

ICO (Icon File Format) was created by Microsoft and is mainly utilized for icons on Windows platforms. It may have a single image or multiple small images in varied sizes as well as color depths, enabling Windows to show a corresponding version in a given context (e.g., desktop shortcut or system tray).

Who should use ICO?

It is perfect for developers, UI designers, and anybody who is developing software or a site that requires unique icons. ICO files make sure icons render clearly at a range of resolutions in Windows platforms.

What is meant by the GIF format?

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was created by CompuServe in 1987 as a format for image interchange, particularly for basic animation and simple graphics, on the internet. It incorporates lossless compression as well as a small color palette of just 256 colors, making it useful for logos, icons, and low-resolution animation.

Who should use GIF?

It is best for animators, designers, and content producers who have light-weight animated images, memes, or simple images which they would like to share. GIF is popular on social networks and blogs for fast loading of animated images and short cycles.
