Both formats, briefly
PCXIN
PCX is a DOS era format, originally the native file of PC Paintbrush, and for years it was how images moved between early PC programs. It uses run length encoding, supports palettes up to 24 bit color, and is simple enough that a decoder fits in a page of code. Nothing new is written in PCX today. You run into it in old archives, scanner utilities and retro computing projects.
ICOOUT
ICO is the Windows icon container, and it is still what browsers look for at favicon.ico. A single file holds the same artwork at several sizes, commonly 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels, so the system picks the right one for a browser tab, a taskbar or a desktop shortcut instead of scaling something badly. Build one when you are adding a favicon to a site or an icon to a Windows application.
