A .arw extension file is a Sony RAW Image file that is similar to other RAW files like SR2 and SRF formats captured by Sony cameras. It is based on the TIF file type and is in a raw form. It is important to check the provided photo editing software information as different Sony camera models are known to store raw images in different formats even though the .arw file extension is used to store the image.
The .ICO filename extension refers to the ICON image file format originally developed by Microsoft. The extension is used to represent computer icon images of varying sizes designed for the operating system Microsoft Windows. Its use today has extended to developing icons for programs designed using the Microsoft developer's suite Visual Studio and other applications. Similar to other device independent bitmap file formats, the ICON file format is also in the raster graphics class of image formats where each individual pixel is part of an orthogonal dot matrix data structure with support for a limited palette of color information. As a resource file, the .ico file format has its strength in contextual use. This allows for multiple icon images of different color depth or size to be stored within the resource file and used when appropriate.

ARW image file captured by a camera is in a raw condition and needs to be processed to meet the required specifications before converting to a TIFF or JPEG format. The image can be received either from the image sensor of a digital camera, an image scanner or a motion picture film scanner. There may be a requirement to install the Sony RAW Driver to view the .arw extension files in any of the built-in image viewers that may be compatible to view files in this format.
Each .ico file begins with an icon directory specifying the number of images, color depth, and size. Through its history, ICON file formats have come from containing images at a resolution from 32x32 in monochrome, to containing images up to 256x256 in resolution with up to 16.7 million colors.
