Format Details
SGI
SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) is a raster image format developed by Silicon Graphics for use on their professional IRIX workstations. It supports multiple color channels, various bit depths, and optional RLE compression for efficient storage. SGI images were common in professional 3D animation and visual effects workflows throughout the 1990s and are still encountered in some specialized legacy creative pipelines.
ICO
ICO is the Windows icon file format used to display icons for applications, files, folders, and shortcuts in the operating system. It can contain multiple image sizes and color depths within a single file, ensuring icons look sharp at different display scales and DPI settings. ICO files are also used as website favicons — the small icon displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars.
