PICON files are typically used for storing pixel icons, which are small graphic images often utilized in user interfaces. These icons help enhance the visual experience by representing actions, files, or applications in a compact form. Interestingly, pixel icons have been a staple in computing since early graphical user interfaces in the 1980s.
Technically, PICON files store bitmap images where each pixel's color information is saved in a grid format. These files usually have a limited color palette, which helps keep file sizes small and rendering fast. Originally, pixel icon formats were designed to support 16x16 or 32x32 pixel dimensions, reflecting typical icon sizes in early desktop environments.
PICON files are commonly employed in applications that require small, efficient images, such as toolbars or menus. They are favored for their simplicity and quick loading times, making them ideal for low-resolution displays or embedded systems. The name 'PICON' itself is a portmanteau of 'pixel' and 'icon,' highlighting its graphic nature.
