Convert WMZ to ICO

The WMZ file extension stands for Compressed Windows Metafile, a format developed by Microsoft to store vector graphics in a compressed form using Gzip compression. Initially used in older Microsoft Office documents to optimize file sizes for embedded images, WMZ files have become less common with the advent of more modern formats like EMF. These files can be decompressed using utilities like WinZip or 7-Zip, and the resulting WMF files can be viewed or edited in applications such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Illustrator.

The ICO file extension, standing for "Icon", is integral to Microsoft Windows for storing icons of different sizes and color depths. Its primary use is to display graphical representations of executable programs, files, and folders within the Windows operating system. The ICO format's origins trace back to the early versions of Windows, evolving over the decades to support enhanced resolutions and alpha transparency. Today, ICO files ensure visually consistent and scalable icons that maintain their appearance across various display settings, aligning with modern user interface standards.
