Icon image formats.

Values

NameDescription
Ico

.ico (icon) format. This contains multiple image sizes and color depths.

Png

.png (portable network graphics) format. This contains a single image size and color depth, and uses lossless compression to save space.

Bmp

.bmp (bitmap) format. This contains a single image size and color depth, and does not use compression.

Gif

.gif (graphics interchange) format. This contains a single image size and color depth, and uses lossless compression to save space. This format is limited to a maximum of 8 bits-per-pixel color depth. Usually, .png is a superior choice but .gif is provided for legacy platforms that can't use the .png format.

Jpg

.jpg (JPEG) format. This contains a single image size and color depth, and uses lossy compression to save space. This format is primarily used with only larger image sizes (256x256 or larger).
