WMF Image Format

WMF Converter

WMF stands for Windows Metafile. The format is a container file primarily for vector graphics, although it can also support raster images. Vector graphics are made up of points with connecting lines and curves, and can be easily scaled up for printing or viewing. Vector graphics can be created and edited using specialist graphics software. Raster images comprise pixels in a grid format and can be lower resolution.

Microsoft first published the WMF specification with Windows 3.0 in the early 1990s. It later developed the enhanced metafile (EMF) format, which improved on the WMF format. WMF files support 16-bit data, while EMF files can support 32-bit. People typically used WMF format to design or edit images like logos. However, the SVG and EPS formats are now more popular. You can open WMF files in a range of image-editing programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Corel PaintShop Pro, Canvas, Inkscape or LibreOffice.

ICO Image Format

ICO is the name of the format used for icons on Windows, such as the paintbrush and palette used for MS Paint, the tab file image for folders on File Explorer, or the different-coloured ‘W’, ‘X’, ‘P’, ‘O’ and ‘A’ logo icons used for Microsoft Office apps and files. The ICO format was developed by Microsoft especially for Windows. It’s not possible to associate an image with an app or file on a Windows device without using an ICO image.

ICO files contain one or more 2D ‘raster’ images – usually in different sizes so that they can be scaled appropriately as needed. The images are normally a lot smaller than most standard image files. You can use certain image editors and drawing programs to create ICO files from JPG or PNG files, or you can create the icons from scratch. Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop and Preview for Mac can all be used to create ICO files. You can also use these programs to open and view ICO files.
