Compare Icon File and Adobe Photoshop Document formats — understand the key differences and when to use each
Icon File
ICO (Icon) is a file format used for icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files can contain multiple sizes and color depths in a single file, typically including 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, and 256×256 pixel variants. The 256×256 size uses PNG compression. ICO is also used for website favicons (favicon.ico) displayed in browser tabs. Converting PNG to ICO is a common task for web developers and software creators.
Adobe Photoshop Document
PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Photoshop's native file format. PSD preserves layers, masks, blend modes, adjustment layers, smart objects, text layers, paths, and all editing capabilities. It supports RGB, CMYK, LAB, and other color modes at up to 32-bit depth. PSD is the standard working format for graphic designers, photographers, and digital artists. For sharing, PSD files should be converted to PNG, JPG, or PDF.
