Information about PNG and ICO file formats
| 🔸 File format | PNG | ICO |
| 🔸 Full name | PNG - Portable Network Graphics | ICO - Microsoft icon |
| 🔸 File extension | .png | .ico |
| 🔸 MIME type | image/png | image/x-icon, image/vnd.-microsoft.icon |
| 🔸 Developed by | PNG Development Group | Microsoft |
| 🔸 Type of format | lossless bitmap image format | Graphics file format for computer icons |
| 🔸 Description | 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 used lossless image compression format on the Internet. However, PNG itself does not support animation at all. MNG is an extension to PNG that does. Members of the PNG Group designed it. | 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 Windows Explorer, must carry the icon in ICO format. |
| 🔸 Technical details | PNG supports palette-based images (with palettes of 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colors), grayscale images (with or without alpha channel), and full-color non-palette-based RGB[A] images (with or without alpha channel). However, PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not for professional-quality print graphics, and therefore does not support non-RGB color spaces such as CMYK. | An ICO file is made up of an ICONDIR ("Icon directory") structure, containing an ICONDIRENTRY structure for each image in the file, followed by a contiguous block of all image bitmap data (which may be in either Windows BMP format, excluding the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure, or in PNG format, stored in its entirety). |
