The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows.

ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately.

In Windows, all executables that display an icon to the user, on the desktop, in the Start Menu, or in Windows Explorer, must carry the icon in ICO format.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.

PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most widely used lossless image compression format on the Internet.

JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography.

The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.
