FAQ
GAL to ICO Conversion
What are GAL files?
GAL is a graphics file of HP Graphics Gallery, also known as HP Charting Gallery, business graphics software released by Hewlett-Packard for DOS PCs in 1989. It was used to prepare presentation charts, diagrams, and drawings in color for reports, slides, and overhead transparencies, and it came with a collection of ready-made business graphics. A file of this type contains a two- or three-dimensional graphic created by the user, such as a pie, bar, or line chart, or a drawing built from lines, shapes, and text. Because the program has been out of use for a long time, regular image viewers do not open these files.
The extension is also used by two other, unrelated formats: GenePix array lists, which are text files of microarray layouts for scientific scanners, and clip-art libraries of Corel Multimedia Manager.
What are ICO files?
ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
