BMP stands for Bitmap Image File. It is a raster image format developed by Microsoft It was officially released on May 22, 1990. BMP stores images by saving pixel data one by one, usually without compression. This makes BMP files large in size but keeps the image very accurate.
BMP is good for saving high-quality images when exact pixel details are important. Because BMP files usually don’t compress data, they aren’t ideal for websites or saving disk space. Most BMP files also don’t support transparency or layers.

- macOS: Use Preview, GIMP, or Photoshop.

ICO files contain multiple icon images in different sizes and with different color details. This allows the icon to display clearly and sharply in different contexts and sizes on your screen.

This means that parts of the icon can be seen, so the icon can look good on a different backgrounds. ICO files typically include image sizes ranging from 16×16 pixels to 256×256 pixels, and sometimes larger.
