What is CAB file format?

CAB (or Cabinet) is a common file format used to compress and archive files, commonly used in Microsoft Windows. CAB files are created using the MakeCab command-line tool that is included in Windows and also supported by other compressed file programs. CAB files contain one or more compressed and/or encrypted files in the cabinet format. This format uses embedded file pointers that can be securely transported without being extracted, making them a popular choice for software publishers and developers who need to deliver files in a self-contained package. CAB files can also be distributed via a server, or downloaded from the Internet and then installed. CAB files are ideal for storing and transferring large files, as they can easily be compressed to reduce the file size. The files also remain secure due to their internal file pointers, as they cannot be opened or accessed without the proper software. In addition, CAB files are great for a software publisher who needs to deliver large files quickly and efficiently.

ICO (or .ICO) is a file extension for an image file format used to store computer icon images. ICO files are used to store small images, such as icons for Windows programs and files, which can be in colour depths ranging from 1-bit to 32-bit. The ICO file format is an image file format that enables computer icons to be used in the Windows operating system and other Microsoft applications. ICO files can contain multiple images in various sizes and colours, and are usually used in programs such as web browsers, web sites and Windows. The ICO format makes it easy to quickly create and implement icons across multiple platforms, and they are extremely popular in the development world.

It is important to note that ICO files are not limited to Windows applications and can also be used to store favicons, website icons, and folder icons. Additionally, ICO files can be converted to other image file formats, such as GIF and PNG.
