Convert PWP to ICO

The PWP file extension stands for PhotoWorks Image File, associated with the PhotoWorks software developed by Seattle FilmWorks. Primarily used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for storing color images, PWP files are similar to SFW files and were commonly used for image downloads from the internet. Although the software is now discontinued, PWP files can be converted to standard JPG images using specific converters.

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.
