FAQ
NSF to ICO Conversion
What are NSF files?
NSF is an extension used for files of the NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF), which is the alliance's version of the American National Imagery Transmission Format. NATO armed forces and their partners need to exchange images from satellites, aircraft, and reconnaissance systems in a way that every member's equipment can read, and NSIF was created for this purpose, as the standard STANAG 4545. A file of this type is a package that holds one or several images together with graphics, text, and the information that describes them, for instance the sensor, the time, and the security classification. In practice, NSIF version 1.0 is almost identical to NITF 2.1, so the two formats are largely interchangeable, and many programs read both.
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.
