Understanding BMP and IContainer file formats

BMP (Bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device. It is widely used for its simplicity and compatibility with various software applications. BMP files are known for their high quality and large file sizes.

IContainer files can contain multiple icons in different sizes and resolutions, making them versatile for various display settings.
