ICON to SIXEL
File Converter

ICON is a file format used to store icons on Microsoft Windows. It supports images of various sizes and color depths, and it can contain multiple images within a single file, allowing icons to be displayed in different resolutions and color depths depending on the user’s settings. While ICON files are essential for creating application and file icons in Windows, they are less commonly used for other purposes due to their specific functionality and limited support on non-Windows platforms.

SIXEL is a bitmap graphics format that uses six pixels per character cell to represent images, primarily developed for DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) terminals in the 1980s. It allows for the display of images directly in terminal emulators that support the SIXEL standard, making it possible to visualize graphics in command-line environments without relying on external graphics programs.
